Methyl vinyl ketone → HCID 13769775, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.1 parts of 3-buten-2-one, 9.7 parts of 1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-N-(4-piperidinyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine and 120 parts of ethanol was stirred for 3 hours at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from a mixture of 2-propanone and 2,2'-oxybispropane, yielding 5 parts (42%) of 4-[4-[[1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinyl]-2-butanone; mp. 131.3° C. (179).
