Sodium Hydroxide → 2-{2,6-Dichloro-3-[aminomethyl]-phenylamino}-6-[4-trifluoromethyl-piperidinyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-{2,6-dichloro-3-[aminomethyl]-phenylamino}-6-[4-trifluoromethyl-piperidinyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (5.83 g, 10 mmol), 50% aq NaOH-solution (25 ml) and MeOH (100 ml) is stirred for 2.5 h at rt. The mixture is concentrated and slowly added to ice-cooled 12 M aq HCl (39.5 mL). Then aq NaHCO3 solution is added (to pH 8) and the resulting precipitate is collected by filtration and dried.
