Reaction Steps

1-Cyclobutyl-5-hydroxymethyl-3-methyl-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one (13.79 g, 59.4 mmol) was diluted with dichloromethane (300 mL) and triethylamine (12.4 mL). The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and methanesulfonyl chloride (6.9 mL, 89.1 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. then was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate and extraced into dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting oil was filtered through silica gel using ethyl acetate containing 1% triethylamine as eluent to give 11.92 g of 5-Chloromethyl-1-cyclobutyl-3-methyl-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one.
