Procedure

To a stirred solution of 1-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (67.6 mg, 0.150 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 7.2 mg, 0.18 mmol) at 0° C. After 15 min, iodomethane (46.7 μL, 0.75 mmol) was added. After being stirred for 1.5 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 0-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (67.2 mg, 0.145 mmol, 96%).
