1-Methylpiperazine → 4-(3-Chloro-phenyl)-2-[5-methoxy-6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-benzoimidazol-1-yl]-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.053 g (0.13 mmole) of 4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-2-(6-formyl-5-methoxy-benzoimidazol-1-yl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (I.46a), 0.030 mL of N-methylpiperazine, 0.050 g of sodium triacetoxyborohydride and 5 mL of dichloromethane was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was partitioned between 50 mL of dilute aqueous potassium carbonate solution and 50 mL of dichlormethane. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted three times with 20 mL of dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with 30 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with methanol-dichloromethane (gradient 15:85-20:80) to give 0.016 g of 4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-2-[5-methoxy-6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-benzoimidazol-1-yl]-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (I.46) as a pink solid.
