Ammonia → HCID 13769777, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 120 parts of methanol saturated with ammonia and 4.1 parts of 1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-N-[1-(2-isothiocyanatoethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume), saturated with ammonia, as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was suspended in 1,1'-oxybisethane. The product was filtered off and crystallized from acetonitrile, yielding 1.1 parts (26%) of N-[2-[4-[[1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]thiourea; mp. 186.1° C. (intermediate 149).
