4-(Benzyloxy)-N,N,2-trimethyl-1-tosyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxamide → 4-Hydroxy-N,N,2-trimethyl-1-((4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl)-1H-benzimidazole-6-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(benzyloxy)-N,N,2-trimethyl-1-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-benzimidazole-6-carboxamide (29.0 g, 62.6 mmol, Step 3) and 10% palladium on carbon (6.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) was stirred under hydrogen gas (1 atm) at room temperature for 24 hours. Another 4.0 g of 10% palladium on carbon was added, and the mixture was stirred under hydrogen gas (1 atm) at room temperature for additional 6 hours. The resulted mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a white solid (23.0 g, 98%).
