Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[9-bromo-1-(4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (200 mg, 0.425 mmol), sodium methoxide (28% methanol solution, 3 mL), copper (I) iodide (121 mg, 0.635 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (3 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 1 hr. The reaction was quenched by aqueous saturated ammonium chloride, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 40-80% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a colorless oil (96.6 mg, 0.229 mmol, 54%).
