(±)-N-[1-(2-amino-3-methylbutyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3-methoxy-2-quinolinyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine tetrahydrochloride monohydrate (0.00218 mol) was basified with K2CO3 10%. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was evaporated, to give A′. A mixture of A′ in dichloromethane (50 ml) was cooled to 0° C. A solution of tribromoborane in dichloromethane (0.01526 mol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, poured out on ice, basified with a concentrated NH4OH solution, decanted and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The residue (1.1 g) was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/CH3OH/NH4OH 90/10/0.5; 20-45 μm). The desired fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was converted into the hydrochloric acid salt (1:4) with HCl/2-propanol. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 0.5 g (37%) of (±)-N-[1-(2-amino-3-methylbutyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3-hydroxy-2-quinolinyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine tetrahydro-chloride monohydrate; mp. 240° C. (comp. 63).
