Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-chloro-2-[(4-chloro-2-methoxy-6-methylphenyl)amino]-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]ethanol (Reference Example 12; 183 mg, 0.419 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (0.11 ml, 0.629 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.049 mL, 0.629 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 4-25% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound (141 mg, 0.337 mmol, 80%) as an oil. The oil was crystallized from ethyl acetate-diisopropyl ether to give the title compound (73 mg, 0.174 mmol, 42%) as a colorless crystal.
