Potassium Carbonate → HCID 20142793, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of potassium salt of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (1.3 g) and potassium carbonate (1.0 g) in dimethylformamide (15 ml) was added with stirring, a solution of 2-bromomethyl-4-ethoxy-3-methoxy-pyridine (1.6 g) in dimethylformamide (5 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with chloroform (50 ml), washed with water, 1N-sodium hydroxide, and water in this order, dried, and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (chloroform-methanol (50:1)), to give 2-[(4-ethoxy-3-methoxypyrid-2-yl)methylthio]benzimidazole (1.4 g) as a light yellow oil.
