Sodium Carbonate → 5-chloro-1-{1-[3-(1,3-dihydro-3-methyl-2-oxo-2H-benzimidazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 parts of 1,3-dihydro-1-(3-iodopropyl)-3-methyl-2H-benzimidazol-2-one, 3.75 parts of 5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-(4-piperidinyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one, 2.65 parts of sodium carbonate and 22.5 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide is stirred at 70°-80° C for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled, poured onto water and the precipitated product is filtered off. It is dissolved in trichloromethane. The solution is dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is crystallized from 4-methyl-2-pentanone. yielding 3 parts (43%) of 5-chloro-1-{1-[3-(1,3-dihydro-3-methyl-2-oxo-2H-benzimidazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one; mp. 166.5° C.
