Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.220 mg of N-1-butanesulfonyl-4-amino-3-(2,4-dichlorobenzylamino)benzamide, 0.3 ml of tetramethoxymethane and 2.0 ml of acetic acid was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hours. Acetic acid was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was extracted with chloroform and with water. The chloroform layer was concentrated, and 4.0 ml of methanol and 36% hydrochloric acid (4 drops). were added to the residue. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. The reaction solution was neutralized with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate. The crystals precipitated were washed with water, and were dried to give 0.207 g of 6-(1-butanesulfonylcarbamoyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-2-hydroxybenzimidazole (379).
