Ethyl acetate (50 ml) was added and the solution was washed with water (50 ml), aqueous sodium metabisulphite solution (50 ml). water (50 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The solid residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel elucing with a mixture of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether (b.p. 60°-80° C.)(3:10) to give 4-bromo-5-cyano-2-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)imidazole (2.15 g) as a white solid m.p. 270.5°-272° C.
