Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromo-2-(3-chlorophenoxy)pyridine (0.43 g, Reference Example 16) in dry tetrahydrofuran (6 ml), at −70° C., was treated with butyl lithium in hexane (0.64 ml, 2.5 M). The mixture was then stirred at −70° C. for 45 minutes then treated with a solution of 1-benzotriazolyl 7-methoxy-2-methoxymethyl-3H-benzimidazole-4-carboxylate [0.177 g, Reference Example 1(a)] in dry tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) and stirring was continued at −70° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, then stirred at this temperature for 2 hours, then treated with aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml). The organic extract was dried and concentrated to give a brown syrup which was purified by flash chromatography on silica eluting initially with a mixture of diethyl ether and pentane (1:1, v/v), then with a mixture of diethyl ether and pentane (7:3, v/v) and then with diethyl ether to give the title compound (0.04 g) as white solid, m.p. 181-183° C.
