Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-cyclopropyl-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-6-yl)-4-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one (200 mg), (5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-methanol (152 mg) and tributylphosphine (437 mg) in THF (10 ml) was added 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (536 mg). The mixture was stirred under sonication at 50° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with DCM (100 ml), washed with water and brine (30 ml), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (MeOH/DCM) followed by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (40 mg) as a white solid.
