Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[6-chloro-5-mercapto-1-(2-methoxy-ethoxymethyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.300 g, 0.730 mmol), benzyl bromide (0.130 mL, 1.10 mmol) and DMF (20 mL) was added potassium carbonate (0.151 g, 1.10 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min at 23° C. and poured onto water (40 mL). The product was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified (FCC) (2-50% EtOAc/hexanes) to yield the titled compound (0.330 g, 90%). MS (ESI/CI): mass calcd. for C24H25ClN4O4S, 500.1; m/z found, 501.1 [M+H]+.
