Trifluoroacetic acid → (6-Iodo-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-1-yl)phenylacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.50 g (2.73 mmol) of tert-butyl 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylphenylmethyl)-5-iodo-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazole-1-carboxylate (XIIb) were dissolved in dichloromethane (16 ml) and, while stirring at room temperature, trifluoroacetic acid (10 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: 1.10 g (100%) of yellow solid.
