Reaction Steps

To a vial is added 5-bromo-1-tert-butyl-2-[2-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-phenyl]-1H-benzimidazole (158 mg, 0.4 mmol) in DMF (5 mL), followed by the addition of iodomethane (114 mg, 0.8 mmol) and K2CO3 (110 mg, 0.8 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. The reaction mixture is diluted with EtOAc, washed with water then, brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue is loaded to a silica gel column. The column is eluted with 0-3% MeOH/CH2Cl2. The product fractions are collected and is concentrated to afford 5-bromo-1-tert-butyl-2-[2-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-phenyl]-1H-benzimidazole (62 mg, 38%). LCMS (ESMS): m/z 411.59, 413.47 (M++1)
