Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (13.5 mg, 0.357 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 2-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]butanal (151 mg, 0.357 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3.0 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr. The reaction was quenched by aqueous saturated ammonium chloride at 0° C. and the mixture was 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 recrystallized from ethanol/ethyl acetate to give the title compound as a colorless crystal (143 mg, 0.337 mmol, 94%).
