Reaction Steps

5N NaOH (3.39 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-chloromethyl-3-fluoro-4-morpholinopyridine hydrochloride (2.06 g) and 5-methoxy-(1H)-benzimidazole-2-thiol (1.39 g) in ethanol (35 ml). After 3 hours excess solvent was removed and the residue treated with water (80 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane. The extracts were washed with water, dried (K2CO3), excess solvent removed and the residue crystallised from ethyl acetate to yield 2-(4-morpholino-3-fluoro-2-pyridylmethylthio)-5-methoxy-(1H)-benzimidazole (2.16 g) m.p. 121°-123°.
