Triethylamine → 3-[9-Chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]pentanenitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]pentanamide (60.1 mg, 0.133 mmol) and triethylamine (112 μL, 0.800 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) was added trifluoroacetic anhydride (55.6 μL, 0.400 mmol) at 0° C. After 0.5 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 0-70% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture give the title compound as a colorless amorphous (45.1 mg, 0.104 mmol, 78%).
