Participants

Reaction Steps

To the suspension of 2-(6-piperazin-1-ylpyridin-3-yl)-1H-benzoimidazole (0.403 g, 1.440 mmol) in 25 mL of mixture of THF:dichloromethane (1:1) was added 2-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride (0.300 g, 1.440 mmol) in the presence of triethylamine (1 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was then evaporated and ethyl acetate was added. The suspension was ultrasonicated and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was subjected to column chromatography. The title compound was obtained as a white solid in 15% yield (0.097 g). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.71 (s, 1H), 8.24 (dd, J=2.4 and 9.0 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.74 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.52-7.48 (m, 2H), 7.51 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.14-7.11 (m, 2H), 6.97 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 3.78-3.71 (m, 4H), 3.60-3.46 (m, 2H), 3.29-3.11 (m, 2H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 166.8, 159.2, 150.4, 146.8, 136.1, 135.1, 135.1, 133.4, 130.1, 128.0, 127.1, 127.0, 126.1, 126.0, 125.6, 122.4, 116.2, 107.4, 46.6, 44.6, 44.4, 41.4.
