Procedure

To a solution of 150 mg (0.83 mmol) of N-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-acetamide in methanol (3 mL) was added water (3 mL) and conc. H2SO4 (0.3 mL). The mixture was heated at 100° C. under microwave (150 w, 250 psi) for 1 h. After removal of all the solvents, the residue was neutralized with sat. aq. Na2CO3 solution then diluted with methanol (50 mL). After removal of the inorganic salts through filtration, the organic phase was concentrated and dried under vacuum to afford 100 mg (86%) of the 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylamine, which was used for the next step without further purification.
