Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzimidazol-1-yl)-propionic acid methyl ester (200 mg, 0.91 mmol) in DMA (5 ml) was added sodium hydride (60% oil dispersion, 55 mg, 1.4 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at ambient temperature after which time 7-bromomethyl-benzo[b]thiophene (206 mg, 0.91 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at 120° C. in a microwave for 20 minutes. Upon cooling to ambient temperature the reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with NaHCO3 (sat.) and brine. The aqueous phase was acidified using 1M HCl and extracted once with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give the crude product which was purified via column chromatography (silica gel, 5% methanol/dichloromethane). The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated to give 20 mg (6%) of the desired product. LCMS (ESMS): m/z 353.41 (M+H+).
