Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (290 mg, 0.95 mmol), 4-chloro-2-methoxy-6-methylaniline (491 mg, 2.86 mmol) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (3 drops) was heated at 110° C. for 72 h. Aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate was added to the residue and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with a 10% ethyl acetate/n-hexane and recrystallized from diisopropylether/n-hexane to give 140 mg (0.32 mmol, 34%) of the title compound as a white powder.
