Potassium Carbonate → 4-[2,6-dichloro-3-[N-methyl-N-[4-(methylcarbamoyl)cinnamoylglycyl]amino]benzyloxy]-1-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-2-ethyl-1H-benzimidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-benzimidazole (140 mg) and 2,6-dichloro-3-[N-methyl-N-[4-(methylcarbamoyl)cinnamoylglycyl]amino]benzyl bromide (289 mg) in dimethylformamide (3 ml) was added potassium carbonate (117 mg) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at the same temperature and then for 2 hours at ambient temperature. To the reaction mixture was added saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (5% methanol-ethyl acetate) and pulverized with diisopropyl ether to give 4-[2,6-dichloro-3-[N-methyl-N-[4-(methylcarbamoyl)cinnamoylglycyl]amino]benzyloxy]-1-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-2-ethyl-1H-benzimidazole (317 mg) as pale yellow solid.
