Procedure

Crude 1-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (175 mmol) was dissolved in 450 mL dioxane and 450 mL 2N sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h. Charcoal (1 g, Norit SA II) was added and reflux was continued for another 20 min. The mixture was filtered hot and washed with 50 mL 2N sodium hydroxide solution. The filtrate was treated with 550 mL 2N HCl and stirred at room temperature overnight. The solid material was filtered off and dried at 50° C. and 15 mbar. The desired compound was obtained as an off-white solid (28 g, 78%), MS: m/e 205.1 (M−H).
