Imidazole → 2-[4-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyoxy)phenyl]-1-cyclohexyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (2.72 g, 0.040 mol) and tert-butyldimethylchloro silane (2.89 g, 192 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of compound 6 (5.1 g, 16 mmol) in DMF (10 mL). Stirring was continued for 15 h at 100° C. Upon cooling 20 crystallized. The crystals were collected and washed with ethyl acetate followed by water. The yield of 20 (after drying) was 4.70 g (62%).
