Reaction Steps

A 1M suspension of Rieke magnesium in THF (1.3 ml) was added to THF (2 ml). The mixture was cooled to −10° C., and a solution of 2-chloro-1-(1-chloro-ethyl)-4-methoxy-benzene (136 mg) in THF (2 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred for 15 min. A solution of 1,3-diallyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide (100 mg) in THF (2 ml) was added at −10° C. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Water was added and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated to an oil. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 0 to 100% EtOAc/heptane) to give the title compound (72 mg) as a light yellow foam. MS (m/e)=411.2 [M+H+].
