To a 3 L flask fitted with an overhead stirrer was added 3-({[(2R,3R,7S)-2,3-diphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-yl]methyl}amino)-4-nitrobenzonitrile (131 g, 279 mmol), iron (156 g, 2790 mmol), MeOH (1 L), EtOAc (1 L), trimethyl orthoformate (0.308 L, 2790 mmol) and formic acid (0.107 L, 2790 mmol). The mixture was heated to 64° C. Every 15 min an additional 2-3 eq of iron, formic acid and trimethyl orthoformate was added. After 3 h, the solution was cooled to RT and filtered through Celite© and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated to give 1-{[(2R,3R,7S)-2,3-diphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-yl]methyl}-1H-benzimidazole-6-carbonitrile (125 g, 100% yield). MS (m/z) 450.2 (M+H+). The product was used without further purification.
