The mixture was cooled, and concentrated sodium hydroxide added until the mixture was just: basic, keeping the temperature at about 10° C. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, and solvent removed from the organic layer under reduced pressure. The residue was flash-chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with methylene chloride containing methanol (97/3), to yield 0.4 g of 1,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)imidazole, m.p. 152° C.
