Reaction Steps

2-((5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole-2-ylthio)methyl)benzoic acid t-butyl ester (30 mg, 0.082 mmol) was dissolved in 3 ml of chloroform, to which triethylamine (17 μl, 0.123 mmol) and benzoyl chloride (14 μl, 0.123 mmol) were sequentially added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction was complete, water was added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. After drying the ethyl acetate phase with anhydrous sodium sulfate, it was concentrated, and 2-((5,6-dimethyl-1-(phenylcarbonyl)benzimidazole-2-ylthio)methyl)benzoic acid t-butyl ester was obtained (38 mg, yield quantitative).
