Reaction Steps

Racemic trans-4-(2,5-Dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-3-hydroxymethyl-N-Boc piperidine (250 mg; 0.70 mmol) was dissolved in 4M HCl in dioxane for 60 min. All volatiles were then removed under reduced pressure and the resulting sticky solid was triturated with diethyl ether to yield racemic trans-4-(2,5-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-3-hydroxymethylpiperidine dihydrochloride as a white solid (231 mg; quant.).
