Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The above residue containing 5-(2-(4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)pyridin-3-yl)-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)-2-nitrobenzenamine was added DMA (1 mL), triethyl orthoformate (250 uL) and treated with one drop of concentrated HCl. The homogeneous solution was heated at 65° C. for 15 hours in a sealed vial. The reaction was cooled and the volatiles were removed with a stream of nitrogen gas. The residue was triturated with aq. NaHCO3, resulting solid collected by filtration and purified by HPLC to yield 25 mg of the desired product 6-(2-(4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)pyridin-3-yl)-1-(2-morpholino ethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.58 (dd, J=4.7, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (s, 1H), 7.84 (dd, J=7.8, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (dd, J=7.8, 4.7 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 2H), 7.05 (dd, J=8.3, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.03-6.75 (m, 2H), 4.19 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 3.55-3.36 (m, 4H), 2.44-2.15 (m, 6H), 2.06 (s, 3H). MS (m/e): 417 (MH+).
