Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) and sodium hydride (60% oil suspension; 29 mg), 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzimidazole (110 mg) was added while stirring, and stirring was continued at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture, a solution of 4-(4-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxyphenoxy)benzyl bromide (300 mg) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformaide (3 ml) was dropwise added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into water (100 ml) and extracted with toluene (30 ml) two times. The toluene extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure to eliminate toluene The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 4-fluoro-2-methyl-1-[4-(4-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxyphenoxy)benzyl]benzimidazole (164 mg) as a colorless liquid nD26 1.5615.
