Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[9-chloro-1-(2-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (100 mg, 0.224 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.0 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 14 mg, 0.35 mmol) at 0° C. After the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hr, iodomethane (0.0697 mL, 1.12 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 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 ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound (79.1 mg, 0.172 mmol, 77%) as colorless crystals.
