Abstract

A four‐step synthesis of the PARP inhibitor 2‐(4‐trifluoromethylphenyl)benzimidazole‐4‐carboxamide (1, NU1077) is presented. Condensation of 2,3‐diaminotoluene and 4‐trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde afforded 4‐methyl‐2‐(4‐trifluoromethylphenyl)benzimidazole. Oxidation of the methyl group with potassium permanganate in warm t‐butanol afforded the carboxylic acid that was converted to the corresponding carboxamide via,/ the acid chloride.
