Procedure
Approximately 850 mL of methanol was placed in a 1 liter glass bottle with a screw cap. The solution was saturated by dissolving approximately 10.5 g of (5)6-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)-methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole, and the resulting solution was stirred. Once the solution was saturated, an additional 17 g of (5)6-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl-methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole was added to the saturated solution to create a suspension. The cap was sealed and the saturated suspension was allowed to stir and equilibrate for about four days.
