Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-2-{4-[2-(3-chloro-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-ethylamino]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridin-3-yl}-7-methyl-3H-benzimidazole-5-carbonitrile (100 mg, 0.24 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride (41 mg, 0.36 mmol) and triethylamine (0.1 mL, excess). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 14 h and cooled to room temperature. After concentration, the residue was purified by prep. HPLC to yield the title compound (76 mg, 66%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.10 (1H, s), 7.71 (1H, s), 7.66 (1H, s), 7.25–7.53 (4H, m), 6.33 (1H, d, J=7.6 Hz), 5.01 (1H, dd, J=4.2, 7.0 Hz), 4.58 (2H, t, J=8.6 Hz), 3.91 (2H, t, J=8.6 Hz), 3.73 (1H, dd, J=4.2, 13.7 Hz), 3.63 (1H, dd, J=7.0, 13.7 Hz), 2.64 (3H, s). LCMS (M+H)+ m/z 480 (t=1.70 min.).
