Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-Methyl-6-nitro-1H-benzimidazole-4-carbonitrile (24) (1.010 g, 5.0 mmol) and Pt/C (5% Pt/C sulfided, 0.502 g, 50 wt %, C5002 Engelhard Industries) in DMF (75 mL) is hydrogenated at about 40 psi hydrogen pressure at about 50° C. over about 24 hours. The catalyst is removed from the reaction mixture by filtration through a Celite pad and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained is triturated in acetonitrile, and filtered to provide 6-Amino-7-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-4-carbonitrile (10), as a tan solid (0.768 g, 90% Yield).
