Triethylamine → (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-(1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-benzyloxy-phenylamine (2 g, 8.4 mmol) in 30 mL of DCM was added triethylamine (1 mL) and di-2-pyridylthionocarbonate (2.5 g, 8.4 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in 30 mL DMF, N-methyl-benzene-1,2-diamine (1.5 g, 12.7 mmol) and EDCI (2 g, 10.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 70° C. for 4 h. The reaction was cooled to RT, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine. Purification by silica gel chromatography (98:2 chlorforma/MeOH) afforded the desired product (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-(1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-amine. [M+1]=330.1
