Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.64 g (2.75 mmol) 4-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid in 25 mL 4N HCl was added 0.44 g (2.5 mmol) 4-trifluoromethylbenzene-1,2-diamine, followed by stirring at 180° C. for 6 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature before the addition of 10% NaHCO3 (10 mL) and then extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and vacuum concentrated. The residue thus obtained was separated using column chromatography (developing solvent: chloroform/methanol=30/1) to produce 0.61 g of 2-[4-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)phenyl]-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-benzoimidazole (yield 65%).
