Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-chloro-1-(2,6-dibromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carbaldehyde (80.0 mg, 0.160 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3.2 mL) was added dropwise ethylmagnesium bromide (3 M solution in diethyl ether, 0.107 mL, 0.321 mmol) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 5 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with aqueous saturated ammonium chloride, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 10-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (78.0 mg, 0.147 mmol, 92%).
