Reaction Steps

[step 1] 6-Methoxycarbonyl-4-methyl-2-propylbenzimidazole (EP502314; 500 mg, 2.29 mmol) was suspended in ethanol (15 mL), 4 mol/L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3.1 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 7 hr. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and water (20 mL) was added. Under ice-cooling, the mixture was adjusted to pH 1 with 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid, and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal (0.50 mL, 4.58 mmol), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (527 mg, 2.75 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (421 mg, 2.75 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hr. To the mixture were added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (100 mL) and chloroform (100 mL), and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 6-(2,2-dimethoxyethylcarbamoyl)-4-methyl-2-propylbenzimidazole.
