To a mixture of 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid methyl ester (prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,804,662) (1.5 g) in THF (25 ml) at -15° C. was added a solution of 1M LAH/THF (10.4) ml). The mixture was stirred for 1/2 hour and allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction was quenched by addition of water (0.5 ml), and then diluted with methanol (50 ml) and filtered. Concentration of the filtrate yielded 1.2 g (98%) of 1-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-benzene.
