Methyl iodide → HCID 57786215, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]propan-1-ol (350 mg, 0.930 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (3.0 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 44.8 mg, 1.12 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min. To the mixture was added methyl iodide (657 mg, 4.65 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium 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. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the solid, which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as a colorless crystal (76.5 mg, 0.196 mmol, 21%).
