Triethylamine → 9-Chloro-1-(6-methoxy-4-methylpyridin-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (3.42 g, 21.5 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of [9-chloro-1-(6-methoxy-4-methylpyridin-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]methanol (1.19 g, 3.31 mmol), triethylamine (3.7 mL) in dimethyl sulfoxide (10 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. The mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (220 mg, 0.617 mmol, 19%).
