Procedure

Sodium iodide (3.43 g, 22.89 mmol, 2 equiv) was added to a solution of 1-(3-chloropropyl)-3-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (2.57 g, 11.44 mmol, 1 equiv) in acetone. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, it was evaporated under reduced pressure to remove all the acetone. The residue was worked up using ethyl acetate and water, followed by a wash with brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a red oil (3.62 g, quant); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 2.12-2.19 (m, 2H); 3.24 (t, 2H, J=7.2 and 6.8 Hz); 3.28 (s, 3H); 3.89 (t, 2H, J=6.8 Hz); 7.04-7.09 (m, 2H); 7.13-7.16 (m, 1H); 7.18-7.22 (m, 1H); MS for C11H13IN2O m/z 316.89 (M+H)+.
