Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(4′-methoxy-4-nitrobiphenyl-3-yl)acetamide (500 mg), acetic acid (6 ml) and iron powder (308 mg) was stirred at 100° C. for 50 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature, and insoluble matter was removed by filtration using celite. A saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution was added to the filtrate to render the liquid about pH 7, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 5-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylbenzimidazole (320 mg).
