5-Chloro-3-ethyl-2-naphthalen-1-yl-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (62 g, 35 mmol) is dissolved in. THF (10 ml), and aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (2.0 N, 6.35 ml, 2.0 eq.) is added. The mixture is heated at 50° C. overnight. THF is stripped off under reduced pressure, and the residue is diluted with water (10 ml) and basified to pH=4=5. The solid precipitate is collected, washed with water and ether, and dried under high vacuum to give the title compound. LCMS 301 (M+1).
