Reaction Steps

1,1-(Azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (269 mg) was added to a solution of 1-(2-cyclopropyl-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-6-yl)-4-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one (100 mg), (4-bromo-5-chloro-2-thienyl)methanol (162 mg) and tributylphosphine (0.26 ml) in THF (5 ml) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h. The mixture was quenched with water at room temperature and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine successively, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) and preparative HPLC (L-Column 2 ODS, eluted with H2O in acetonitrile containing 0.1% TFA). The desired fraction was neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (12 mg) as a white solid.
