5-Bromo-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole → HCID 58107460, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.303 g of 6-bromo-2-methyl-1H-benzoimidazole in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) is cooled to −50° C. and treated with 2.7 mL of tert-butyllithium (1.5 M in pentane). After 2 h at −50° C. the reaction mixture is treated with 0.12 g of 4-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methyl-3-sulfamoyl-benzamide in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). After 3 h the mixture is quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, taken up in ethyl acetate, and washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organics are dried (magnesium sulfate), concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (98:2 methylene chloride/methanol) to give 2-chloro-5-(2-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamide. MS (m/z): 348 (M−1); Rf 0.30 (9:1 methylene chloride/methanol).
