After removal of all the solvent, the residue was stirred with sat. aq. Na2CO3 (50 mL) for 5 min, filtered, and the solid was dried to provide 1 g (14%) of N-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-acetamide. LCMS: 180 (M+1)+. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ 2.38 (m, 4H), 2.00(s, 3H), 1.65 (m, 4H) ppm.
