Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)hydroxymethyl]-4-methylphenol (prepared according to procedure 561B) (360 mg), methanesulfonic acid (500 μL) and 1-methyl-4-piperidinol (500 mg) in 1,2-dichloroethane (20 mL) and N-methylpyrrolidinone (2 mL) is warmed at 90° C. for 2 h. After cooling at 0° C., the mixture is diluted with water and dichloromethane and concentrated sodium hydroxide slowly added up to pH 9. Organic phase is then dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by chromatography over silica gel (gradient dichloromethane/methanol/ammonia from 100/0/0.5 to 80/20/0.5) to afford 2-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)(1-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)methyl]-4-methylphenol, melting at 151° C.
