A solution of 1-(4'-methoxy-3',5'-difluorobenzyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-thione (0.0046 mol) in 40 ml methylene chloride is treated with a solution of BBr3 (0.014 mol) in 10 ml methylene chloride. After four hours methanol is cautiously added, the mixture is stirred for an additional eighteen hours and the solvents are evaporated. The residue is dissolved in water, washed with ethyl acetate, neutralized with sodium bicarbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts are dried (MgSO4) and filtered and the solvent evaporated to yield 1-(4'-hydroxy-3'5'-difluorobenzyl)-2-(methylthio)imidazole. This compound then is substituted for 1-(4'-hydroxy-3',5'-difluorobenzyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-thione in the process of Example 1 to yield 1-(4'-acetoxy-3',5'-difluorobenzyl)-2-(methylthio)imidazole.
