Ammonia → 5-[(diisobutylamino)methyl]-1-(3-{methyl[2-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl]amino}propyl)-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4,5 trimethoxyphenylisothiocyanate (57 mg, 1.2 eq) and N-methylcyclohexylcarbodiimide-N-methyl polystyrene resin (acquired from Novabiochem; load 1.69 mmol/g, 501 mg, 4 eq) are added successively to a solution of 4-[(diisobutylamino)methyl]-N-(3-{methyl[2-(4-pyridinyl)ethyl]amino}propyl)-1,2-benzenediamine (90 mg, 1 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml). The mixture is heated under reflux for 18 hours then cooled down to ambient temperature and aminomethyl polystyrene resin (acquired from Novabiochem, 2 eq) is added. After stirring for 4 hours at ambient temperature, the mixture is filtered on frit and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure at 40° C. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: 100% dichloromethane to dichloromethane/methanol 9:1) produces the expected compound in the form of a beige foam (92 mg, 83% yield).
