Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 57.5 parts of ethyl 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)-1-piperidinecarboxylate, 33 parts of 2-(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride, 43 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.1 parts of potassium iodide and 630 parts of DMF was stirred and heated overnight at 70° C. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into water. The product was extracted with 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (96:4 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 4-methyl-2-pentanone, yielding 30 parts (40%) of ethyl 4-[[1-[(2-pyridinyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate; mp. 161.5° C. (55).
