A synthetically useful protocol has been developed for the preparation of highly functionalized N-alkenyl-benzimidazol-2-ones. Reaction of commercially available o-phenylenediamines with variously substituted cyclic ketones provides spiro-benzimidazolines. Treatment of these spiro-benzimidazolines with triphosgene in the presence of potassium carbonate results in rapid rearrangement and formation of N-alkenyl-benzimidazol-2-ones in modest to excellent yield for the two-step sequence. Extension of this methodology toward the preparation of a m opiate receptor antagonist and droperidol, a potent antiemetic and antipsychotic agent, currently a marketed pharmaceutical is also described. Upon treatment of spiro-benzimidazolines with triphosgene in the presence of sodium triacetoxyborohydride, N-alkyl-benzimidazol-2-ones were formed. (C) 2007 Merck & Co., Inc.
