Conditions

Temperature: 110 °C

Procedure

A mixture of ethyl 4-[2-chloro-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]butanoate (475.2 mg, 1.41 mmol), 2,4-dimethoxyaniline (0.60 mL, 4.23 mmol) and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (0.5 mL) was stirred at 110° C. for 14 hr. After cooling, the reaction mixture was neutralized with aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 0-30% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a brown solid (570.0 mg, 1.26 mmol, 89%).
