Reaction Steps

To a solution of [2-(4-amino-3-nitro-phenyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-yl]-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-methyl-amine (0.65 g, 1.9 mmol) in 4:1 ethyl acetate/methanol (50 ml) under nitrogen, was added 5% palladium on carbon (100 mg) and the mixture was first evacuated and then stirred at room temperature under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 1 day. The reaction mixture was then filtered through celite, washed with 1:1 ethyl acetate/methanol (10 mL) and the combined filtrate and washings were concentrated to give the crude 4-{5-[(2-methoxy-ethyl)-methyl-amino]-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl}-benzene-1,2-diamine as a thick oil that was used in the next step without any purification.
