Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)(1-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)methyl]-benzonitrile (example 172, 740 mg) in 80% aqueous formic acid (3 mL) is added platinum(IV) oxide (48 mg). The reaction mixture is heated at 60° C. for 7 h, then at room temperature for 2 days. As the reaction is not complete, 80% aqueous formic acid (3 mL) and platinum (IV) oxide (48 mg) are added and the reaction mixture is heated at 60° C. overnight. Water is added and the reaction mixture is filtered on celite. The phase is basified by adding a solution of 1N sodium hydroxide and extracted by ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed by water, then dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give 3-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)(1-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)methyl]benzaldehyde. 1H NMR: 9.99 (s, 1H), 9.67 (sl, 1H), 8.01 (s, 1H), 7.85-7.65 (m, 2H), 7.60-7.40 (m, 2H), 7.32-7.15 (m, 3H), 5.95 (s, 1H), 3.65-3.50 (m, 1H), 2.82-2.65 (m, 2H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 2.20-1.65 (m, 6H).
