Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

539 mg (1.44 mmol) of 4-(5-methoxybenzimidazole-2-ylthio)butanoate ethyl ester were suspended in 4 ml of toluene followed by the addition of 616 μl (3.60 mmol) of diisopropylethylamine and 384 mg (1.59 mmol) of 4-methyl-3-(bromomethyl)benzo[b]thiophene and heating at 100° C. After allowing to react overnight, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water followed by drying with magnesium sulfate and concentrating the solvent under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to obtain 114 mg of 4-(1-((4-methylbenzothiophene-3-yl)methyl)-5-methoxybenzimidazole-2-ylthio)butanoate ethyl ester (yield: 17%) and 68 mg of 4-(1-((4-methylbenzothiophene-3-yl)methyl)-6-methoxybenzimidazole-2-ylthio)butanoate ethyl ester (yield: 10%).
