Reaction Steps

2-Difluoromethyl-4-methoxybenzimidazole (9.03 g, 45.6 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (100 ml), 60% NaH (1.82 g, 45.6 mmol) was added, and stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was added to a solution obtained by dissolving 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (15.7 g, 92.1 mmol) into DMF (100 ml) while cooling with ice, and stirred on an ice bath for 30 minutes and further at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, precipitated crystals were filtered, and washed well with hexane and ether, then air-dried to afford 2-(2-difluoromethyl-4-methoxybenzimidazol-1-yl)-4,6-dichloropyrimidine (12.3 g, yield 78%).
