Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL dry flask, tert-butyl (3-{[5-chloro-1-(4-fluorobutyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]methyl}-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)acetate (P33) (1.74 g, 3.49 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL tetrahydrofuran/water mixture (3/1). Lithium hydroxide (167.3 mg, 6.98 mmol, 2 eq.) was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 mL) followed by the addition of aqueous HCl (1M) until the pH was approximately 6. Dichloromethane (40 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the organic layer separated. The aqueous layer was evaporated to dryness and dried into the oven during 16 hours to give (3-{[5-chloro-1-(4-fluorobutyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]methyl}-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)acetic acid (P67, 1.6 g, 100%) as a white solid; LCMS m/z=432 (M+H)+
