Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]butanal (51.8 mg, 0.123 mmol) and trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (54.3 μL, 0.368 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.6 mL) was added a solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 M, 12.3 μL, 0.0123 mmol) at 0° C. After 30 min, hydrochloric acid (1.0 M, 0.25 mL) was added. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 0-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless oil (49.0 mg, 0.0995 mmol, 81%).
