Reaction Steps

In a mixture of 15 ml of ethanol and 20 ml of 36% hydrochloric acid was dissolved 609 mg of 2-benzyloxymethyl-5-(3,5-dichlorophenylthio)-4-isopropyl-1-(2-methylpyridin-3-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazole (118a), and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. An aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added, extracted with ethyl acetate, the extract was dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The crystals were washed with diethyl ether, filtered, and 500 mg of 5-(3,5-dichlorophenylthio)-2-hydroxymethyl-4-isopropyl-1-(2-methyl pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazole (119a) was obtained (yield 99%). mp 136° C.
