Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.84 g (5 mmol) of 2-difluoromethylbenzimidazole dissolved in DMF (25 ml) was added and reacted with 60% sodium hydride (0.24 g, 6 mmol) at room temperature for 30 minutes. This suspension was added to a solution of 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (0.92 g, 5 mmol) dissolved in DMF (25 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water and the resulting precipitates were recrystallized from methanol to obtain 0.98 g (yield: 62%) of 4,6-dichloro-2-(2-difluoromethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)pyrimidine. (2) 0.32 g (1.0 mmol) of 4,6-dichloro-2-(2-difluoro-methylbenzimidazol-1-yl)pyrimidine, 0.16 g (1.0 mmol) of cis-2,3-dimethylmorpholine hydrochloride and 0.3 g (2.2 mmol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate were added to DMF (10 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The separated organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.33 g (yield: 84%) of 4-chloro-2-(2-difluoro-methylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-6-(cis-2,3-dimethylmorpholino)-pyrimidine. (3) 0.33 g (0.8 mmol) of the obtained 4-chloro-2-(2-difluoromethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-6-(cis-2,3-dimethyl-morpholino)pyrimidine dissolved in morpholine (0.70 g, 8.0 mmol) was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was removed under the reduced pressure from the reaction mixture and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.326 g (yield: 90%) of the titled compound as colorless crystals.
