Summary
The synthesis of compound3 by condensing 1H-benzimidazole-2-acetonitrile (1) with ethyl cyclopentanone-2-carboxylate (2) in the presence of ammonium acetate is described. Methylation of3 with trimethyl phosphate yielded the N-methyl derivative4. Methods for converting3 to some of its related derivatives in which the carbonyl function was replaced by Cl, N3 and amines are also reported.
Zusammenfassung
Die Synthese der tetracyclischen Verbindung3 durch Kondensation von 1H-Benzimidazol-2-acetonitril (1) mit Cyclopentanon-2-carbonsäureester (2) in Gegenwart von Ammonacetat wird beschrieben. Die Methylierung von3 mit Trimethylphosphat liefert das N-Methylderivat4. Die Sauerstoffunktion in3 kann durch Chlor, Azid und Aminogruppen ersetzt werden.
