Participants

Reaction Steps

To [5,6-dichloro-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-benzimidazol-1-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester (915 mg) in toluene (20 mL) at −78° C. was added DiBAl—H (3.43 mls of 1.5 M in toluene). The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was quenched with Rochelle's salt (aq), extracted with EtOAc, and dried over Na2SO4. The extracts were concentrated to a toluene solution and ethanol (10 mL) was added. To the resulting solution was added NaBH4 (533 mg). The resulting mixture was stirred for 5 hour. The reaction mixture was quenched with water, extracted with EtOAc, and dried over Na2SO4. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (15%-60% EtOAc/hexanes) to yield the title compound as a yellow solid.
