Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-1-[4-(2-chloroethyl)phenyl]-2-ethyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-ylamine (step 6 of Example 110, 100 mg, 0.3 mmol) in pyridine (7 mL) was added dropwise acetyl chloride (0.03 mL, 0.33 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C., and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h. The mixture was poured into water (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with 2N aqueous NaOH (30 mL), brine (30 mL), then dried (Na2SO4). After removal of solvent, the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (1:3) to afford 110 mg (98%) of the title compound as white solids: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.66 (1H, s), 7.56 (1H, br.s), 7.45 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.29 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.12 (1H, s), 3.82 (2H, t, J=7.1 Hz), 3.19 (2H, t, J=7.1 Hz), 2.77 (2H, q, J=7.6 Hz), 2.26 (3H, s), 1.34 (3H, t, J=7.6 Hz).
