Cyanuric chloride → HCID 22507061, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methylbenzimidazole (5.0 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml), and sodium hydride (60% purity, oily) (1.6 g) was added thereto at room temperature. After stirring for 1 hour, cyanuric chloride (7.0 g) was added at room temperature, followed by stirring for 3 hours. Ice water was added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate, washing with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 2.6 g of the desired product as a white powder (m.p. at least 300° C.).
