N-{[(2-{4-[6-chloro-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]phenyl}ethyl)amino]carbonyl}-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide → N-{[(2-{4-[2-acetyl-6-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]phenyl}ethyl)amino]carbonyl}-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-[6-chloro-1-[4-(2-chloroethyl)phenyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]ethanol (Example 367, step 1, 400 mg, 1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added MnO2 (2.7 g, 32 mmol) . The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. This was directly purified by flash column chromatography eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (4:1) to afford 350 mg (88%) of the title compound as white solids.
