Reaction Steps

Six milliliters of ethanol and 0.8 ml of acetic acid were added to 0.50 g of 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylbenzimidazole and 0.47 g of reduced iron, and the mixture was refluxed for 4.5 hours. The reaction mixture was extracted with water and with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to give 0.46 g of 1-(4-aminobenzyl)-6-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylbenzimidazole (363).
