Reaction Steps

4-Iodo-1,2-phenylenediamine (0.47 g) and 3-(2-naphthyl)glutaric anhydride (0.48 g) were dissolved in dichloromethane (6 ml) with heating. The dark solution was stirred at rt for 1 h. The precipitate formed was collected by suction filtration, washed with dichloromethane, and dried in vacuo to give a mixture of regioisomeric amides (0.82 g) as light red solid. This solid was dissolved in 4M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (3 ml) and the dark solution was heated to reflux for 1 h. The precipitate formed is isolated by suction filtration of the still hot mixture and washed with 1,4-dioxane, hot acetic acid, and finally diethyl ether to provide 4-(5-iodo-2-benzimidazolyl)-3-(2-naphthyl)butanoic acid HCl (0.71 g) as light red solid.
