Participants

Reaction Steps

A 137 mg portion of 1-[3-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-(1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene)propane-1,3-dione was dissolved in 10 ml of pyridine, and 35 mg of acetic anhydride was added thereto under ice-cooling. After 2.5 hours of stirring at room temperature, the reaction liquid was mixed with an appropriate amount of sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated, and then the thus formed residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography to obtain 120 mg (80%) of N-(2-{3-[3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-(1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene)-3-oxopropanoyl]phenyl}-2-hydroxyethyl)acetamide (Example 15-1) as a yellow foam from a chloroform-methanol (30:1) eluate. FA: 478
