Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carbaldehyde (150.0 mg, 0.394 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3.0 mL) was added i-propylmagnesium chloride (1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 0.59 mL, 0.591 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hrs. To the mixture was added i-propylmagnesium chloride (1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 0.59 mL, 0.591 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hr. After cooling, the mixture was quenched with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 10-60% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a solid (78.8 mg, 0.186 mmol, 47%).
