Reaction Steps

1-Ethyl-2-{[2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-pyrazol-3-yl]methyl}-5-amino-1H-benzimidazole (104 mg) is treated with triethylorthoformate (4 eq) in acetic acid (10 mL) at reflux for 4 h. After concentrating the solution, acetic acid is re-added, sodium azide (4 eq) added, and the mixture heated at 70° C. for 3 h. After cooling, water (15 mL) is added and the mixture concentrated. The residue is taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate (2×) then saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4), concentrated, and purified by preparative silica gel chromatography to give 1-ethyl-2-{[2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-pyrazol-3-yl]methyl}-5-(1,2,3,4-tetrazol-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazole, which is converted to the hydrochloride salt in ethyl acetate.
