Dimethylformamide → 1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-N-[1-[2-(thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-ylthio)ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.5 parts of thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-2-thiol, 1 part of a sodium hydride dispersion 50% and 45 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred for 1 hour. Then there was added a solution of 6.9 parts of N-[1-(2-chloroethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl-methyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine in 45 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide. The whole was stirred overnight. Water was added dropwise. The product was extracted with 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol, saturated with ammonia, (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from acetonitrile. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 0.5 parts (6.4%) of 1-[(4-fluorophenyl)-methyl]-N-[1-[2-(thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-ylthio)ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine; mp. 159.9° C. (compound 105).
