Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere, to a suspension of 1-(4-bromo-2-methylphenyl)-9-chloro-6-[1-(difluoromethoxy)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole (0.20 g, 0.38 mmol), potassium hydroxide (64.2 mg, 1.14 mmol), water (2 mL) and di-tert-butyl[3,4,5,6-tetramethyl-2′,4′,6′-tri(propan-2-yl)biphenyl-2-yl]phosphane (73.3 mg, 0.15 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (2 mL) was added tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (34.9 mg, 0.04 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with brine at room temperature, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, and concentrated in vacuo. To a suspension of the residue in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) was added potassium carbonate (35.5 mg, 0.26 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min. To the reaction mixture was added 2-iodopropane (0.04 mL, 0.42 mmol) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 17 h. The reaction mixture was warmed up at 60° C. and stirred at 60° C. for 25 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with brine, 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 purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 10-20% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The desired fractions were concentrated in vacuo. The residual solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound as a colorless crystal (43.8 mg, 0.09 mmol, 14%).
