Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carboxylate (Example 81; 350 mg, 0.930 mmol), formamide (3.0 mL), and sodium methoxide (28% solution in methanol, 1.0 mL), and N,N-dimethylformamide (3.0 mL) was stirred at 120° C. for 20 hr. The mixture was diluted with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride, and the precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water, washed with diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as a colorless powder (280 mg, 0.775 mmol, 83%).
