Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-{4-chloro-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-2-[(4-methyl-6-pyrrolidin-1-ylpyridin-3-yl)amino]-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl}butan-1-ol (Reference Example 48; 400 mg, 0.85 mmol) in pyridine (5 mL) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (0.330 mL, 4.25 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 8 hr. Aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting crude mesylate was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) and potassium carbonate (586 mg, 4.25 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hr. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 50-80% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a solid, which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound (150 mg, 0.331 mmol, 39%) as a colorless solid.
