Trifluoroacetic acid → (6-Chloro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-1-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.92 g (5.02 mmol) of tert-butyl 3-tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl-5-chloro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazole-1-carboxylate (VIIg) were dissolved in dichloromethane (40 ml) and, while stirring at room temperature, trifluoroacetic acid (15 ml) was added. The reaction solution was stirred for 2 h and then the solvent and excess trifluoroacetic acid were removed in vacuo. The residue was taken up again in toluene, concentrated in vacuo and then dried in vacuo. Yield: 1.50 g (100%) of white solid
