Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Lithium borohydride (205 mg, 9.42 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of methyl 9-chloro-1-(2,4-dichloro-6-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-6-carboxylate (800 mg, 1.88 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4.0 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 13 hr. The reaction was quenched by aqueous saturated ammonium chloride at 0° C. and 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. The residue was washed with ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as a colorless powder (620 mg, 1.56 mmol, 83%).
