2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-7-methoxy-1H-benzoimidazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.0 g, 3.16 mmol) obtained in step 2 was dissolved in 10 ml of toluene, aluminum chloride (2.11 g, 15.8 mmol) was added thereto and refluxed for 8 hours. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature, the reaction was stopped by adding 3 N HCl thereto and stirred for 30 min. The precipitate formed was filtered, washed with benzene and dried to obtain the title compound (745 mg, 2.59 mmol) in a yield of 82%.
