Reaction Steps

Iron powder (3.0 g, 50.9 mmol) was added to a solution of nitrobenzimidazole 7 (4.30 g, 16.9 mmol) in toluene (30 ml) and acetic acid (30 ml), and the reaction mixture was heated at 125° C. for about 1 h (completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC). The resulting crude mixture was filtered through a cotton wool plug (to remove iron particles). The crude solution was evaporated to dryness, diluted with EtOAc, washed with saturated NaHCO3 (until the pH=7), and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated at reduced pressure to give 8 (2.70 g, 73%) a brown solid: 1H NMR (C2D6SO) δ 12.55 (s, 1H), 7.73(d, 1H), 7.57 (d, 1H), 7.16 (broad m, 2H), 7.09 (d, 1H), 7.01 (app d, 1H), 6.70 (dd, 1H) 5.15 (broad s, 2H), 2.39 (s, 3H); MS (ES, positive mode): 224 [M++1].
