Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 7-bromo-3-(3-chloropropyl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxylate (490 mg, 1.41 mmol) and phosphoryl chloride (14 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 2 h. Phosphoryl chloride (9 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the resultant mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 3 h. Phosphoryl chloride (15 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and the resultant mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 3 h, concentrated in vacuo, and diluted with ethyl acetate and aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 10-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (429 mg, 1.17 mmol, 83%).
