Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of crude 1-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]propan-1-amine (200 mg) and triethylamine (0.130 mL, 0.933 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added acetic anhydride (0.0530 mL, 0.561 mmol) at 0° C. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate and 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 10-90% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (111 mg, 0.246 mmol).
