Cyanogen Bromide → 6-[5-[2-(3-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-[5-[2-(3-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-N2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (0.20 g, 0.49 mmol) and cyanogen bromide (0.11 g, 1.03 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hr. After cooling, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/2-1/3) to give the title compound (0.13 g, yield 62%) as colorless crystals.
