Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-{[1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-6-yl]carbonyl}azetidin-3-ol (150 mg, 0.359 mmol) was added boron-tetrahydrofuran complex (1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 1.8 mL, 1.8 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 13 hr. To the mixture was added aqueous saturated ammonium chloride, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 20 min. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the solid, which was washed with ethanol to give the title compound as a colorless powder (91.5 mg, 0.227 mmol, 63%).
