A quantity of 1.9 gm (5.1 mmol) of 5-methoxycarbonyl-2-(2'-methoxy-4'-methanesulfonylamino-phenyl)-benzimidazole, dissolved in 300 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran, was added dropwise, under stirring, to a suspension of 700 mg of lithium aluminium hydride in 50 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran. After the solution was stirred overnight at ambient temperature, 30 ml of water were added, any insoluble components were filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The crude product thus obtained was purified by chromatography over 200 gm of silica gel (eluant: methylene chloride with 3 to 10% of ethanol).
