Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]pentan-1-ol (148 mg, 0.34 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5.0 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 27 mg, 0.675 mmol) at 0° C. After the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hr, iodomethane (0.064 mL, 1.03 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 10-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture and recrystallization from 2-propanol/n-hexane to give the title compound (81.1 mg, 0.179 mmol, 53%) as colorless crystals.
