Procedure

A mixture of 5-amino-3-methyl-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-3H-benzimidazole-4-carbonitrile (Example 6) (1 g, 3 mmol) and conc. H2SO4 (8 mL) was warmed to 100-110° C. for 1 h and monitored by TLC for the disappearance of starting material. The mixture was cooled and poured onto a mixture of crushed ice, sodium carbonate, and ether. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, dissolved in MeOH-methylene chloride, treated with carbon (decolorizing charcoal), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The aqueous filtrate was washed with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (25 mL), which was then extracted with EtOAc (20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to yield 190 mg of a crude product. This was combined with the solid product and triturated with ether-methylene chloride to afford 5-amino-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-4-carboxylic acid amide (700 mg, 66%). The filtrate was chromatographed on silica gel to afford an additional 128 mg (12%) of product.
