Sodium sulfate decahydrate → 2-[1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-(diethylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-yl]ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (20 mg, 0.54 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) was added a solution of methyl [1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-(diethylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-yl]acetate (Example 72, 60.0 mg, 0.134 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) at 0° C. and the resultant mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min. After sodium sulfate decahydrate (600 mg) was added at 0° C., the resultant mixture was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 30-60% ethyl acetate/n-hexane gradient mixture to give the title compound as a solid (43.1 mg, 0.103 mmol, 77%). Analytically pure material was obtained by recrystallization from ethyl acetate/n-hexane.
