Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-chloro-1-(3-chloropropyl)-2-[(2-methoxy-4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-5-yl)amino]1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylate (560 mg, 1.28 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.92 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5.6 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 1 h, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water 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 50-100% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless solid (504 mg, 1.25 mmol, 98%).
