Procedure
6-(4-Bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid-(2-tert-butoxyethoxy)-amide (Compound 5) monohydrate is added in 3 portions to a premixed solution of Acetonitrile and excess Phosphoric acid (85% aqueous solution) at internal temperature 20-25° C. After stirring for about 15 minutes, the suspension is heated to internal temperature 50-53° C. The suspension is maintained at this temperature for 6 hours, cooled to internal temperature 20-25° C. The mixture is then heated to internal temperature 35-37° C. and diluted with Ethanol-Water (3:1 v/v). EKNS and CEFOK are added, the reaction mixture is stirred approximately 15 minutes and filtered over a funnel coated with CEFOK. The filtrate is cooled to approximately 30° C. 3 N aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) is added to the cooled filtrate over a period of 90 minutes until a pH-value of about 8.1 is reached. The suspension is heated to internal temperature 60-63° C., stirred at this temperature for a period of about 2 hours, cooled to 20-23° C. over a period of about 45 minutes, filtered over a funnel, and dried at 50° C. pressure<100 mbar over a period of about 17 hours, providing 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (2-hydroxyethyoxy)-amide (Compound A) as a white powder.
