Reaction Steps

A mixture of 110 mg (0.315 mmol) 2-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-7-methoxy-1-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-1H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonitrile and 56 mg (0.315 mmol) N-bromosuccinimide in 5 ml acetonitrile is stirred at reflux for 3 h. Then the solvents are evaporated and the residue is purified by flash-chromatography on silica gel (hexane:EtOAc=3:1) and recrystallized from EtOAc/diethyl ether/hexane to afford 60 mg of the title compound as colorless crystals.
