Sodium hydride → HCID 66628264, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask were added 0.79 g 2,2′-methylenebis(1H-benzimidazole) and 20 ml N,N-dimethylformamide under nitrogen. 0.42 g sodium hydride were added in portions and the mixture was stirred 20 minutes. 1.74 g 1-iodopropane were added slowly and the mixture was stirred at 22 C for 16 hrs. After quenching with the slow addition of 40 ml water, the product was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. Solvent removal resulted in an oil which was purified by silica gel chromatography using 25% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 0.9 g of a light yellow oil which crystallized on standing.
