Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[2-[(2-bromo-4-methylphenyl)amino]-4-chloro-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]butan-1-ol) (Reference Example 54; 1.02 g, 2.13 mmol) in pyridine (2.5 mL) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (824 μL, 10.65 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hr. The reaction mixture was quenched with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting crude mesylate (MS Calcd.: 555; Found: 556 (M+H)) was subjected for the next step without further purification. To the crude material in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.0 mL) was added potassium carbonate (588.8 mg, 4.26 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 12 hr. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with water (×2) and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 0-20% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The resulting solid was washed with n-hexane to give the title compound as a colorless powder (810.1 mg, 1.77 mmol, 83% (2 steps)).
