Reaction Steps

To a solution of 45 mg (0.12 mmol) of (1-benzyl-2-[(isoquinoline-3-carbonyl)-amino]-1H-benzoimidazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (Example 134) in THF (1 mL) was added methanol (1 mL) and 1 N LiOH solution (1 mL). The reaction was heated at 65° C. for 45 min., and the conversion was monitored by TLC. After cooling to room temperature, the organic solvents were removed under reduced pressure, the reaction residue was acidified (pH=2) by addition of 1 N HCl solution. The solid product was collected by filtration and further dried to afford 43 mg (100%) 1-benzyl-2-[(isoquinoline-3-carbonyl)-amino]-1H-benzoimidazole-4-carboxylic acid. LCMS: 423 (M+1)+.
