Add 0.3 g (7.5 mmol) of sodium borohydride bit by bit to a suspension of 2.41 g (7 mmol) of 9-(4'-methoxyphenacyl)-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole--described in Example 6--in 15 ml of methanol over a period of thirty minutes at room temperature. Continue stirring for a further four hours and leave until the next day. Subsequently, add 10 ml of 10% hydrochloric acid until a pH of 2-3 is obtained, and evaporate the methanol. Treat the residue with an ammonium hydroxide solution and extract with chloroform. Recrystallise the residue. The title compound is obtained in the form of a base. Dissolve in hot ethanol and add ethereal hydrogen chloride. Allow to cool, suction-filter, and wash with ether. The title compound is obtained.
