Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 9-chloro-1-(4-bromo-2-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carbaldehyde (4.54 g, 11.2 mmol), trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (4.97 mL, 33.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) was added tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1M solution in tetrahydrofuran 1.12 mL, 1.12 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min. To the reaction mixture was added tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1M solution in tetrahydrofuran 1.12 mL, 1.12 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min. To the reaction mixture was added trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (4.97 mL, 33.7 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. 1N hydrochloric acid (20 mL 20 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 20-60% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The desired fractions were concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a colorless powder (3.24 g, 6.83 mmol, 61%).
