Reaction Steps

0.52 g (1.0 mmol) of 1-Methyl-2-[(4-amidinophenyl)thiomethyl]benzimidazol-5-yl-carboxylic acid-N-(n-propyl)-N-(2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)amide hydrochloride was dissolved in 15 ml ethanol, mixed with 5 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide solution and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Then 5 ml of water were added, the alcohol was distilled off, and it was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The water was distilled off in vacuo, and the crude product was taken up in 5 ml of ethanol and filtered to remove the insoluble sodium chloride. After the solvent had been distilled off, the title compound was obtained as a white solid.
