A mixture of 4-benzyloxy-2-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole (254.8 mg) and 10% palladium on carbon (25 mg) in methanol (2.5 ml) was stirred for 7 hours at ambient temperature under hydrogen atmosphere. Insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate:n-hexane=3:1, V/V) to give 4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole (58.7 mg).
