Participants

Reaction Steps

1.30 g (2.5 mmol) of ethyl 4'-[(6-benzylamino-2-n-butylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-methyl]biphenyl-2-carboxylate are dissolved in 20 ml of ethanol, treated with 20 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide and heated at reflux for 2 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the solution is diluted to 500 ml using water and acidified to pH 5 using glacial acetic acid. The precipitate thus obtained is filtered off under suction, suspended in acetone, filtered off once again under suction and dried at 90° C. in vacuum.
