Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1-chloro-2-(5,6-dichloro-1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-propan-2-ol (60 mg) in MeOH (2 mL) at room temperature was added a solution of 4-acetamidothiophenol (40 mg) and sodium methoxide (0.047 mls of 25 wt % in MeOH). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (25%-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to yield the title compound as a white foam solid.
