Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-{4-[2-(4-amino-3-nitro-phenyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-yl]-piperazin-1-yl}-ethanol (1.0 g, 2.6 mmol) in 4:1 ethyl acetate/methanol (100 ml) under nitrogen, was added 5% palladium on carbon (200 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 2-{4-[2-(3,4-diamino-phenyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-yl]-piperazin-1-yl}-ethanol as a reddish solid that was used in the next step without any purification.
