Acetic Acid → HCID 86737173, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.7 parts of 1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-N-{1-[3-(4-methoxyphenylthio)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine, 2.42 parts of hydrogen peroxide solution 30% and 20 parts of acetic acid is stirred and refluxed for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is cooled and poured onto ice-water. The whole is alkalized with sodium hydroxide solution 50% and the product is extracted with trichloromethane. The extract is washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (98:2 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions are collected and the eluent is evaporated. The residue is converted into the ethanedioate salt in methanol and 2-propanol. The salt is filtered off and dried, yielding 0.8 parts (16%) of 1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-N-{1-[3-(4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine ethanedioate (1:2); mp. 213.1° C.
