Step A: 2-Chloro-4-methyl-l -benzo[d]imidazole To 4-methyl-lH-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (1.5 g, 10 mmol) was added POCb (19 ml, 200 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated to 135 °C for 3 hours. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and the excess POCb was removed in vacuo. The solid residue was diluted carefully with water and then slowly neutralized with saturated NaHCC until the pH was ~7-8. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 150 mL) and the organics extracts were combined. The organics were dried with MgS04, filtered, and the solvent was removed to yield the crude residue. The crude material was purified by chromatography (Biotage) to yield 2-chloro-7-methyl-lH- benzo[d]imidazole (1.1 g, 6.3 mmol, 62 percent yield) as a slightly yellow powder.
