Water → (Z)-8-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-3,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrrolo-[3,2-e]benzimidazol-7-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (Z)-4,5-diamino-1,3-dihydro-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2H-indol-2-one (60 mg, 0.22 mmol) (from Example 15 above) and formamidine hydrochloride (177 mg, 2.2 mmol) (Aldrich) in ethanol (3 mL) was heated at reflux for 45 min. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and water was slowly added to induce precipitation. The precipitate was collected by suction filtration, washed with water and dried in a vacuum oven overnight to give (Z)-8-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-3,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrrolo-[3,2-e]benzimidazol-7-one. (Yield 48 mg, 99%).
