HCID 436599262-(chloromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoleYield 8%

Procedure

The title compound was prepared in accordance with the general method of Example 191(C), from 4-fluoro-N1-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine (2.5 g, 17.84 mmol) and 2-chloroacetic acid (2.50 g, 27 mmol). The crude residue was purified over silicagel chromatography (prepacked 70 g silicagel column, Cyclohexane/AcOEt: 60/40 as eluent) to afford 277 mg of 2-(chloromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (Yield: 8%) as a semi-solid.
