Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid [2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl]-amide (480 mg, 1.02 mmol) and Burgess Reagent (848 mg, 4.06 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was heated in a microwave apparatus at 150° C. for 30 min. The mixture was poured into ethyl acetate and extracted with water and brine. The organic layer was dried, filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residual oil was triturated with acetonitrile to afford the title compound. H1-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.40 (s, broad, 0.5H), 8.22 (s, broad, 0.5H), 8.0 (m, 1H), 7.72 (m, 8H), 2.47 (s, 3H). MS: m/z 455.9 (M+1); High resolution MS (M+H): theory: 454.0281, measured: 454.0279.
