Participants

Reaction Steps

N-isopropenyl-2-benzimidazolone (15.0 g, 86.10 mmol), methyl bromoacetate (13.2 g, 86.1 mmol) and potassium carbonate (14.25 g, 103.26 mmol) were stirred in acetonitrile (300 ml) at room temperature overnight. The next day the reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to give 21.0 g (99% yield) of (3-isopropenyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-1-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a clear oil:
