Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(5-bromo-2-ethyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)phenyl]ethanol (step 4, 116 mg, 0.57 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME, 6 ml) was added PhB(OH)2 (141 mg, 1.16 mmol), K2CO3 (240 mg, 1.75 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (67 mg, 0.06 mmol). This mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 11 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with CH2Cl2 (4×10 ml). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give brown oil. This mixture was purified by SiO2 preparative TLC (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/5) to afford 52 mg (27%) of the title compound.
