Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 9-chloro-1-(2-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.246 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.5 mL) was added a solution of cyclopropyl magnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 M, 1.5 mL, 1.5 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hr and at 50° C. for 1 hr. Aqueous ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 30-70% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture and recrystallization from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound (58.6 mg, 0.128 mmol, 52%) as colorless crystals.
