Reaction Steps

Compound number 49 (i.e., 6-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-2-trifluoromethylthiobenzimidazole) was prepared as follows. A solution of 5-chloro-6-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3-benzodiazole-2-thione (200 mg, 0.58 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) and potassium carbonate (120 mg, 0.87 mmol, 1.50 equiv) was placed into a 50-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask. The mixture was sustained by aeration with trifluoro(iodo)methane. The resulting solution was stirred for 2 h at 130° C. in an oil bath. The resulting solution was diluted with 50 ml of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 2×80 ml of ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 2×100 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with EA/PE (1:15). This resulted in 81.0 mg (34%) of 6-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-2-trifluoromethylthiobenzimidazole as an off-white solid.
