Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromomethylphenylboronic acid pinacol ester (564 mg, 1.90 mmol) in acetone (19 mL) was added 2-methylbenzimidazole (377 mg, 2.85 mmol), potassium iodide (16 mg, 0.095 mmol) and K2CO3 (394 mg, 2.85 mmol) and the reaction mixture heated at 60° C. for 3.25 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with H2O and extracted with EtOAc (×2). The organic layers were combined, dried (phase separation cartridge) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by reverse phase preparative HPLC-MS to afford 2-Methyl-1-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-benzyl]1H-benzoimidazole as an off-white solid (234 mg, 35%).
