Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-(1-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-2-neopentyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-ylsulfonyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (STEP B, 612 mg, 1.24 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was added chlorotrimethylsilane (749 microL, 6.21 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 h. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo. To the residue was added 2 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution to pH>7 and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The resulting solution was concentrated to give the title compound (453 mg, 93%) as an oil.
