Acetone → HCID 22596709, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 38 mg (0.11 mmol) of 5-amino-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-3-methyl-3H-benzimidazole-4-carboxylic acid amide (Example 7), 3 mg (0.02 mmol) p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 2 mL (27 mmol) of acetone was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then heated to reflux for 1.5 h. The reaction was cooled and poured into a mixture of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and EtOAc. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc, the combined organics were extracted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried (MgSO4), treated with activated carbon, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 26 mg of an orange solid. The crude product was chromatographed over silica gel to afford 20 mg (47%) of title compound 17, mp 238-239° C.
