Charged a 100 mL round bottom flask containing 4-bromo-6-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (4.3 g, 13.87 mmol) dissolved in N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) (30 mL) with 1-(bromomethyl)-3-chloro-2-methylbenzene (3.81 g, 17.34 mmol) then added potassium carbonate (4.79 g, 34.7 mmol). The resulting reaction suspension was stirred for 6 h at 90° C., then cooled to RT, and filtered to remove potassium carbonate. The resulting filtrate was concentrated to a small volume (˜10 mL), and diluted with water. The aqueous suspension was extracted with chloroform (3×), the organic extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and finally concentrated in vacuo. The crude solid was slurried in hexane to provide 4-bromo-1-(3-chloro-2-methylbenzyl)-6-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3.5 g, 7.80 mmol, 56.2% yield). The material was carried onto the nitro reduction without further purification.
