Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-[4-chloro-2-[(2,6-dimethoxypyridin-3-yl)amino]-7-(1-ethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]butanoate (120 mg, 0.245 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was added lithium borohydride (16 mg, 0.736 mmol) portionwise at 0° C. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 36 hr. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give a solid, which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give the title compound (70 mg, 0.157 mmol, 64%) as a pale blue solid.
