Acrylamide → HCID 6481627, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzotriazole (300 mg, 1.20 mmol) and acrylamide (86 mg, 1.20 mmol) were dissolved in pyridine (5 mL). Triton B (40% by weight in methanol, 0.010 mL, 0.024 mmol) was added at room temperature. The temperature was slowly raised to reflux. The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux overnight under nitrogen. The solvent was stripped under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with EtOAc (4×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography (EtOAc/MeOH 12:1 to 4:1) to give 128 mg (33%) of the title compound as a white solid.
