The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with water (10 mL) and the pH adjusted to 4 then saturated with solid sodium chloride. The aqueous mixture was extracted ethyl acetate (3×10 mL) and the combined extract was washed with water (15 mL), brine (15 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 1,4-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (46 mg, 63% yield), MS (EI) for C10H10N2O2: 191 (MH+).
