A solution of 1-(2-bromo-4-chlorophenyl)-8-Chloro-5-(1-ethylpropyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole (140 mg, 0.309 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere and n-butyllithium (1.6 M solution in n-hexane, 0.213 mL, 0.340 mmol) was added dropwise. After the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hr, N,N-dimethylformamide (0.120 mL, 1.545 mmol) was added. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction was quenched by an addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 5-40% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The desired fractions for 5-chloro-2-[8-chloro-5-(1-ethylpropyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazol-1-yl]benzaldehyde were concentrated in vacuo, and the resulting solid was recrystallized from methanol to give the title compound of example 6 (41 mg, 0.102 mmol, 33%) as a colorless crystal. The desired fractions for 8-chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(1-ethylpropyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole were concentrated in vacuo, and the resulting solid was recrystallized from methanol to give the title compound of example 7 (17 mg, 0.04542 mmol, 15%) as a colorless crystal.
