Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-[2,4-dichloro-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]butanoate (Reference Example 33; 3.00 g, 8.08 mmol), 2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethoxy)aniline (2.44 mL, 16.16 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (1.64 g, 8.65 mmol) and xylene (7.0 mL) was stirred at 130° C. for 12 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 0-15% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a pale red oil (1.38 g, 2.34 mmol, 29%).
