Tributylphosphine → 4-((3,4-Difluorobenzyl)oxy)-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), (3,4-difluorophenyl)methanol (0.066 ml), 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 diluted with EtOAc, and quenched with water. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine successively, dried over MgSO4, filtered through NH silica gel pad, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc then EtOAc/MeOH), followed by NH silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc). The resulting solid was recrystallized from IPA-IPE to give the title compound (51.4 mg) as an off-white solid.
