Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Combine 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)[1,4]diazepane (1.5 g, 5.03 mmol) and dimethylformamide (30 mL). Add sodium hydride (0.27 g, 60%n in oil, 6.5 mmol). After 30 minutes, add 4-fluorobenzyl bromide (1.0 mL, 8.03 mmol). Heat to 80° C. After 2 hours, cool to ambient temperature and partition the reaction mixture between dichloromethane and a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. Separate the layers and extract the organic layer with brine. Dry the organic layer over MgSO4, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(1-(4-fluorobenzyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)[1,4]diazepane.
