Benzimidazole → HCID 21071124, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzimidazole (0.785 g, 0.7 mmol) was taken in dry DMF (15 ml) and dry potassium carbonate (340 mg) and KI (20 mg) was added to it and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 1 h under nitrogen. 2-Chloro-1-[4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethanone (200 mg, 1.1 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was then added to the mixture through a syringe. The reaction was then heated at 140° C. for 14 h, cooled and then quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Drying of the organic layer with Na2SO4 followed by concentration gave material that on purification by flash chromatography (CHCl3/MeOH) afforded pure product: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.10–7.65 (m, 4H), 7.26 (d, 2H), 6.83 (d, 2H), 4.99 (s, 2H), 3.79–3.66 (m, 4H), 3.14 (br, 4H).
