Tributylphosphine → 4-((5-Chloro-2-thienyl)methoxy)-1-(2-((1RS,2SR)-2-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)cyclopropyl)-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-6-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-hydroxy-1-(2-((1RS,2SR)-2-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)cyclopropyl)-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-6-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (100 mg), (5-chloro-2-thienyl)methanol (88 mg), tributylphosphine (0.219 ml) and THF (10 ml) was added 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (223 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water, and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by NH silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/MeOH), followed by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc then EtOAc/MeOH). The resulting solid was recrystallized from IPE-IPA to give the title compound (29.1 mg) as an off-white solid.
