Tributylamine → 3-amino-N-[2-[4-[[1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2-pyrazinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 2.1 parts of 3-amino-3-pyrazinecarboxylic acid, 2.8 parts of N,N-dibutylbutanamine and 195 parts of dichloromethane were added 3.83 parts of 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide. After stirring for 15 minutes at room temperature, 5.5 parts of N-[1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine were added and stirring was continued for one hour. The reaction mixture was washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was stirred in 2,2'-oxybispropane. The latter was decanted and the residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (96:4 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 1,1'-oxybisethane, yielding 2.8 parts (38%) of 3-amino-N-[2-[4-[[1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2-pyrazinecarboxamide; mp. 156.9° C. (compound 113).
