Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 2-[[[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2-pyridyl]methyl]thio]benzimidazole (50.0 g, 0.14 mol, containing 16.7 mg of water), toluene (100 ml), water (283 mg, 0.016 mol, total water content 0.017 mol) and diethyl (+)-tartrate (10.6 ml, 0.062 mol) were mixed, and the mixture was stirred at 50 to 55° C. for 30 min. Titanium(IV) isopropoxide (8.29 ml, 0.028 mol) was added to the mixture under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred at 50 to 55° C. for 1 hr. Under a nitrogen atmosphere and under cooling, to the obtained mixture was added diisopropylethylamine (8.13 ml, 0.047 mol) and then cumene hydroperoxide (76.50 ml, content 82%, 0.43 mol) was added at −10 to 0° C. The mixture was reacted by stirring at 0 to 10° C. for 5.5 hr.
