Potassium Carbonate → HCID 44156374, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (+)-1-[9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]propyl acetate (80.6 mg, 0.178 mmol) in methanol (1.5 mL) was added potassium carbonate (36.9 mg, 0.267 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hrs. After the mixture was concentrated, the residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (×1), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with a 0-50% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture. The resulting solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound as a colorless powder (51.6 mg, 0.126 mmol, 71%).
