Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-{[1-(cyclopropylmethyl)-2-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl]sulfonyl}-2-methylpropanoate (Step G, 1.07 g, 2.64 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added 2N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (5 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The mixture was made acidic with 2N hydrochloric acid (pH ˜4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water (50 mL) and dichloromethane (50 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with dichloromethane (50 mL×2). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (920 mg, 89%) as a white solid.
