Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-benzyl-4-benzyloxy-7-methylbenzimidazole (3.0 g) in ethanol (400 ml) and 10% palladium-carbon (1.5 g) was hydrogenated at room temperature and pressure until uptake of hydrogen ceased. The mixture was filtered (celite), and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness in vacuo and recrystallized from ethanol-ether to afford the title compound (1.85 g), m.p. 204°-205° C.
