Participants

Reaction Steps

NaBH(OAc)3 (211 mg, 1 mmol, Aldrich) was added to a mixture of 5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-{4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]piperazin-1-yl}-1H-benzimidazol-7-amine (215 mg, 0.5 mmol, Example 58) and 3,4,5-trifluoro-benzaldehyde (88 mg, 0.55 mmol, Aldrich) in chloroform (2 mL) in one portion. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (30 mL), and washed successively with 1 N NaOH (15 mL) and brine (15 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 25% EtOAc/hexane to give the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 575 (M+1).
