Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[9-chloro-1-(6-methoxy-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]propan-1-ol (138.3 mg, 0.357 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.3 mL) was added sodium hydride (21.4 mg, 0.536 mmol) at 0° C. After 30 min, to the mixture was added ethyl iodide (143 μL, 1.785 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 17.5 hrs. The mixture was quenched with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with water (×2) and brine (×1), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 0-40% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The resulting solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound as a colorless powder (112.1 mg, 0.270 mmol, 58%).
