Procedure
To a stirred solution of 5-aminobenzimidazole (700 mg, 5.26 mmol, 1 eq) in DMF (21 mL) was added NaH (231 mg, 5.78 mmol, 1.1 eq, (60% suspension in oil)). The mixture was allowed to stir until gas evolution ceased. To the DMF solution was added 2-methylthio-4-chloropyrimidine (0.612 mL, 5.26 mmol, 1 eq) dropwise via syringe. The mixture was allowed to stir overnight. The DMF was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with water and extracted 3× with CH2Cl2. The organic extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The mixture was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (eluted 2× with 3.5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to give 149 mg 2-methylthio-4-[6-aminobenzimidazol-1-yl]pyrimidine (faster regioisomer) and 89 mg 2-methylthio-4-[5-aminobenzimidazol-1-yl]pyrimidine (slower regioisomer).
