Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(phenylmethyl)-2-benzimidazolepropanol (3.0 g), 1,5-dibromopentane (7.77 g), TAB (0.5 g) and 40% sodium hydroxide (5 ml) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 6 h under nitrogen. The mixture was diluted with water (100 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 ml). The dried extracts were evaporated in vacuo to give an oil. Purification by FCC eluting with hexane-ether (10:0→0:10) gave the title compound as a colourless oil (0.98 g).
