Reaction Steps

2-{(2-Chloro-4-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-propoxy]-phenyl}-4,5-dimethyl-1H-benzoimidazole. 2-Chloro-4-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-propoxy]-benzaldehyde (91.5 mg, 0.31 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and 3,4-dimethyl-benzene-1,2-diamine (42 mg, 0.31 mmol, 1.0 equiv) were stirred with Na2S2O5 (76 mg, 0.40 mmol, 1.3 equiv) in DMF (0.25 M) at 90° C. for 12 h. The reaction mixture was loaded directly on silica gel and purified according to Method 2, which afforded 98 mg (76%) of the title compound. MS (electrospray): mass calculated for C23H29ClN4O, 412.20. m/z found, 413.4 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): 7.68 (br s, 1H), 7.33 (br s, 1H), 7.15 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.07 (d, J=8.7, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (dd, J=8.7, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 4.13 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 2H), 2.60-2.39 (m, 13H), 2.39 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 2.05-1.95 (m, 2H).
