Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]-6-hydroxy-7-nitro-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate (Step-3 of Intermediate-55, 0.500 g) in benzene (2.0 mL) were added iron powder (0.500 g) and acetic acid (2.0 mL). The reaction mass was refluxed for 3 h. Decant the reaction mass removed the solvent under vacuum. The obtained solid mass was washed with water. The reaction mass was extracted with MeOH:DCM (5%). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated to afford 0.440 g of the desired product. 1HNMR (DMSO-d6): δ 3.87 (s, 3H), 4.45 (s, 2H), 7.28-7.47 (m, 1H), 7.53-7.59 (m, 3H), 11.00 (s, 2H).
