Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of ethanol was dissolved 3.5 g of 1-benzyl-4-chloro-2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-5-cyanomethylimidazole, and 10 ml of 1 N-sodium hydroxide was added to the solution, followed by stirring at 60° C. for 2 hours. The solution was allowed to cool, and the resulted crystals were recrystallized from 70 ml of 90% ethanol, thereby yielding 2.2 g of 1-benzyl-4-chloro-2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)imidazole-5-acetamide as colorless needles, m.p. 215°-216° C.
