Reaction Steps

Wang resin-supported 2-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-7-hydroxy-1H-benzoimidazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (570 mg, 0.47 mmol) obtained in step 5 was dissolved in THF, LiOH.H2O (99 mg, 2.35 mmol) in MeOH—H2O was added thereto and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 5 hours. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was washed with MeOH and CH2Cl2, and dried to obtain the title compound (551 mg, 0.42 mmol) in a yield of 90%.
