Potassium Iodide → 2-{[[4-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-butyl]-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoxalin-5-yl)-amino]-methyl}-benzoimidazole-1-carboxylic Acid Tert-Butyl Ester

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-quinoxalin-5-ylamino)-butyl]-isoindole-1,3-dione (298 mg, 0.850 mmol) in CH3CN (12 mL) was added 2-chloromethyl-benzoimidazole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (295 mg, 1.11 mmol), potassium iodide (14 mg), and diisopropylethylamine (0.296 ml, 1.70 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 17 hours. Saturated sodium bicarbonate (15 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. Purification of the crude material by column chromatography on silica gel (1:10 EtOAc:hexanes then EtOAc then 1:10 McOH:EtOAc) provided the product as a clear oil (422 mg, 85%): 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.34-1.43 (m, 2H), 1.48-1.60 (m, 2H), 1.68 (s, 9H), 1.71-1.81 (m, 1H), 1.88-1.97 (m, 1H), 2.00-2.21 (m, 2H), 2.60-2.69 (m, 1H), 2.76-2.93 (m, 3H), 3.55 (t, 2H, J=6.9 Hz), 4.29 (dd, 1H, J=9.6, 5.4 Hz), 4.46 (d, 1H, J=15.3 Hz), 4.61 (d, 1H, J=15.3 Hz), 7.19-7.24 (m, 2H), 7.63-7.69 (m, 3H), 7.74-7.81 (m, 3H), 8.18 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 8.27 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz).
