Procedure

6.9 g of crude 4-[1-hydroxycyclopent-1-yl-1-(imidazolyl)methyl]benzonitrile is refluxed in 82 ml of thionyl chloride to 0.5 hour. Then the mixture is concentrated to dryness under vacuum, combined with 2 N sodium hydroxide solution, extracted with dichloromethane, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated to dryness under vacuum, and chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate, thus producing 3.1 g of 4-[1-cyclopentylidene-1-(imidazolyl)methyl]benzonitrile as the free base, mp 108°-110°.
