Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1.5 g (0.0047 mol) of 6,9-dimethyl-2-phenyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-acetic acid is prepared in 50 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran. 1.22 g (0.0075 mol) of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole are added thereto and the mixture is stirred for 2 h at 40°-45° C. The solution obtained is then treated with an excess of dry ammonia and stirred for 2 h. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is washed with water and dried. The product obtained is purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with a chloroform/acetone 95/5 mixture and 0.71 g of product is isolated. Melting point: 247°-249° C. (decomposition).
