A mixture of 480 mg (1.37 mmol) 2-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-7-methoxy-1-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-1H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonitrile (example 32), 15 mg Raney-Nickel (in water), 967 mg (11.0 mmol) sodium hypophosphite (in 10 ml water), 10 ml acetic acid and 20 ml pyridine is stirred for 6 h at 60° C. The catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is poured on water and extracted (3×) with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers are washed with water (2×) and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash-chromatography on silica gel (hexane:EtOAc=1:1) to afford 330 mg of the title compound as a white crystalline solid.
