Reaction Steps

Combine 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(1-(4-oxopentyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)[1,4]diazepane, ethylene ketal (0.9 g, 2.0 mmol) and dichloromethane (20 mL). Cool in an ice bath and add hydriodic acid (0.53 mL, 57%, 4.05 mmol). Warm to ambient temperature. After 0.5 hours, add water (0.5 mL) and heat to reflux. After 18 hours, cool to ambient temperature and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Combine the residue and methanol (45 mL) and add diethyl ether (250 mL) with stirring to give a solid. After 30 minutes, collect the solid by filtration to give, after drying the title compound.
