N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylazodicarboxamide → Ethyl[4-(2-{5-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-2-oxopyridin-1(2h)-yl}ethoxy)-2-methyl-1h-benzimidazol-1-yl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl (4-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)acetate (476 mg), 5-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (694 mg), 1,1′-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide) (385 mg) and toluene (9.5 mL) was added tributylphosphine (452 mg) at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with a mixture of EtoAc (50 mL) and THF (20 mL), and washed with water (30 mL) and brine (30 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to give crude oil. The crude oil was crystallized from solvent(EtOAc and n-hexane) to give ethyl[4-(2-{5-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl}ethoxy)-2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]acetate (1.07 g) as a white solid.
