Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(5-benzylsulfanyl-6-chloro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.115 g, 0.256 mmol), THF (4.8 mL), and water (1.2 mL) was added LiOH.H2O (0.107 g, 2.56 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 18 h at 23° C. The solvent was evaporated, water (3 mL) was added and the mixture acidified to pH 3 with 1M HCl. The resulting white precipitate was filtered and dried to yield the titled compound (97.0 mg, 99%). MS (ESI/CI): mass calcd. for C18H13ClN4O2S, 384.0; m/z found, 385.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d6): 8.86 (s, 1H), 8.29 (s, 1H), 7.67 (s, 1H), 7.53 (s, 1H), 7.39 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.25 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 1H), 4.29 (s, 2H).
