Diisopropylethylamine → 6-{[(2-bromo-6-fluorophenyl) carbonyl]amino}-N-(3-chloro-2-m ethylphenyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-amino-N-(3-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide (50 mg) in DMF (1.5 mL), were added HBTU (66 mg), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (30 μL) and 2-bromo-6-fluorobenzoic acid (38 mg) in turn, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed sequentially with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on column chromatography to obtain 6-{[(2-bromo-6-fluorophenyl) carbonyl]amino}-N-(3-chloro-2-m ethylphenyl)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide (46 mg). This was dissolved in ethyl acetate (2 mL), and treated with 4N hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate (1.2 Eq). The precipitate was collected by filtration, and dried to obtain the titled compound (24 mg) as white powder.
