Reaction Steps

A solution (30 mL) of ethyl 1-phenyl-2-(phenylthio)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (1.17 g) in tetrahydrofuran was cooled to −70° C., and a 1.5 mol/L solution (12 mL) of diisobutylaluminum hydride in toluene was added dropwise by small portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 hr, water was added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. To the obtained gel-like substance was added tetrahydrofuran, the mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. A mixed solvent of ethyl acetate-diisopropyl ether (1:1) was added to the residue and the resulting unsoluble crystals were collected by filtration to give the title compound as pale-yellow crystals (yield 797 mg, 78%).
