Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-biphenyl-4-yl-6-chloro-2-(methylsulfonyl)-1H-benzimidazole (1.72 g, 4.49 mmol) in THF (30 ml) and 1M potassium carbonate (3.10 g, 22.46 mmol) was added allyl bromide (0.6 ml, 6.89 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. for 20 h. Then the volatiles were removed in vacuo and the resulting residue was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The aqueous phase was separated and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. Chromatography of the resulting residue over silica eluting with 20-40% EtOAc/hexanes afforded the desired product. LC-MS: calculated for C23H19ClN2O2S 422.09, observed m/e: 422.94 (M+H)+ (Rt 2.52/4 min).
