Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 57786337, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 3-{2-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl]-7-(diethylamino)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl}propanoate (92.9 mg, 0.200 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was added aqueous sodium hydroxide (8 M, 0.05 mL) at room temperature. After 2 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (76.7 mg, 0.400 mmol) was added at room temperature. After 6 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 0-30% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to afford the desired product as colorless amorphous (44.6 mg, 0.107 mmol, 53%).
