Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 4-{[(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbonyl)amino]methyl}benzoate (230 mg), potassium carbonate (257 mg), and DMF (4.6 mL) was added p-chlorobenzylbromide (191 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 2.5 days. To the reaction mixture was added water (30 mL), followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layer was sequentially washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration and concentration, the obtained residue was washed with methanol (2 mL) to obtain methyl 4-[({[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbonyl}amino)methyl]benzoate (269 mg) as a white solid.
