Reaction Steps

1-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is dissolved in THF. Borane tetrahydrofuran complex in THF is added dropwise. The reaction is refluxed for 2 h and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is then cooled to 0° C. and methanol is added dropwise. The solvents are evaporated and the residue is taken up in HCl and refluxed for 2 h. The reaction mixture is then cooled to 0° C. and sodium hydroxide solution is added dropwise. The desired compound [1-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-methanol is obtained.
