Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 7-bromo-1-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one 2.32 g (9.69 mmol) and 4-chloro-2-methoxy-6-methylaniline 4.98 g (29.1 mmol) in 0.5 mL of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone was heated at 110° C. for 2 days. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with dichloromethane. The mixture was washed with sodium bicarbonate and water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1) to give 3.13 g (8.23 mmol, 85%) of the title compound.
