Methylamine → 1-[5-methylaminomethyl-1-(3-methyl-butyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl]-3-isopropyl-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methanesulfonic acid 2-(3-isopropyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1-(3-methyl-butyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-ylmethyl ester (10 mg, 0.02 mmol) and methylamine (1M in THF, 0.5 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h then the solvent evaporated. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC (gradient 10%-100% B) to give 8.1 mg (94%) of 1-[5-methylaminomethyl-1-(3-methyl-butyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl]-3-isopropyl-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one as a colorless gum.
