Dimethylformamide → HCID 15623996, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 4.6 parts of a sodium hydride dispersion 50% and 450 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide were added portionwise 57.6 parts of ethyl 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)-1-piperidinecarboxylate under nitrogen atmosphere. Upon complete addition, stirring was continued for 30 minutes at room temperature. 27.0 Parts of 3-(chloromethyl)-2-methylfuran were added dropwise while cooling. Upon completion, stirring was continued for 1 hour. Water was added dropwise to the mixture and the product was extracted with 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was stirred in 1,1'-oxybisethane. The solid product was filtered off and purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was stirred in 1,1'-oxybisethane. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 37.5 parts (19.0%) of ethyl 4-[[1-[(2-methyl-3-furanyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate; mp. 150.4° C. (int. 23).
