Tributylphosphine → 4-((3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)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-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)methanol (95 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 diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine successively, dried over MgSO4, filtered through a plug of NH silica gel, 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). Then the resulting solid was recrystallized from IPA-EtOAc to give the title compound (58.4 mg) as an off-white solid.
