Acetyl chloride → N-{1-[9-Chloro-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl}acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-[9-chloro-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanamine (80.0 mg, 0.165 mmol) and triethylamine (0.0460 mL, 0.330 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added acetyl chloride (0.0141 mL, 0.198 mmol) at 0° C. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and diluted with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract 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 (82.2 mg, 0.156 mmol, 95%).
