Sodium hydride → HCID 21188814, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-hydroxy-2-[(4-chlorophenoxy)methyl]-1-[3-[1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl]propyl]benzimidazole trifluoroacetate (300 mg, 0.6 mmol, 1 eq) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (3 m) was treated with sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 26 mg, 0.66 mmol, 1.1 eq). The resulting mixture was stirred for thirty minutes at room temperature. Cyclopropyl bromide (0.66 mmol, 1 eq) was added to the reaction and the resulting mixture was stirred for two hours at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with the addition of water (5 ml). The aqueous fraction was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 ml). The organic fractions were combined, washed with water (2×10 ml), then brine (1×10 ml), and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvents were removed in vacuo. The residue was further purified by flash column chromatography to yield the title product as a crystalline product in 50% yield.
