Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-[2,4-dichloro-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]butanoate (Reference Example 33; 1.50 g, 4.04 mmol), 2-bromo-4-methylaniline (1.0 mL, 8.08 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (822.2 mg, 4.32 mmol) and xylene (5.0 mL) was stirred at 130° C. for 12 hr. After cooling, the reaction mixture was neutralized with aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (×1), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 0-30% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as an oil (1.42 g, 2.73 mmol, 68%).
