Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 6-chloro-2-ethyl-1-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]-1H-benzimidazole-5-carbonitrile (step 4, 2.4 g, 7.4 mmol), DMSO (0.7 mL, 8.8 mmol) and methanol (100 mL) was added 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (1.3 mL, 11 mmol) and 0.2 M aqueous NaOH (0.7 mL, 0.14 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 h. The solvent was removed and the resulting precipitates were collected by filtration. The precipitates were washed with water and dried under reduced pressure to give 1.9 g (76%) of the title compound as pale pink solids: 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.69 (1H, br.s), 7.61 (1H, s), 7.33-7.40 (4H, m), 6.95 (1H, s), 4.64 (1H, br.s), 3.59 (2H, t, J=6.4 Hz), 2.74 (2H, t, J=6.4 Hz), 2.62 (2H, q, J=7.4 Hz), 1.11 (3H, t, J=7.4 Hz).
