The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hr., sodium sulfate decahydrate (13.0 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the organic layer was concentrated to give [1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl]methanol (4.10 g, 53%) as crystals. Recrystallization thereof from ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether gave pale-yellow prism crystals. melting point: 96-98° C.
