((o-Methoxyphenoxy)methyl)oxirane → HCID 53872367, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4 parts of [(2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]oxirane, 5.3 parts of 6-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-(3-piperidinylmethyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one and 120 parts of 2-propanol is stirred and refluxed for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and evaporated. The residue is purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions are collected and the eluent is evaporated. The residue is crystallized from 4-methyl-2-pentanone and 2,2'-oxybispropane. The product is filtered off and crystallized from 4-methyl-2-pentanone, yielding 2.5 parts (28%) of 6-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-{1-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl]-3-piperidinylmethyl}-2H-benzimidazol-2-one; mp. 167° C.
