Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-{4-[6-chloro-2-ethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]phenyl}-2-propanol (step 8 of Example 247, 1.96 g, 5.12 mmol), triphenylphosphine (1.75 g, 6.66 mmol) and diphenylphosphoryl azide (1.83 mg, 6.66 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) was added diethyl azodicarboxylate (1. 16 mg, 6.66 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at temperature for 3 h, then under reflux temperature. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (2:1) and TLC developing with hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) afforded 769 mg (37%) of the title compound as a slight yellow syrup.
