Ammonium formate → HCID 67273003, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of a mixture of 4-[(1E)-1-ethylprop-1-en-1-yl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one and 4-[(1Z)-1-ethylprop-1-en-1-yl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one (329 mg, 1.63 mmol) and ammonium formate (820 mg, 13.0 mmol) in ethanol (3 mL) was added 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet; 120 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (X1). The organic layer was washed with brine (X1), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 354 mg (>99%) of the title compound as a colorless solid.
