Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-1-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-ethanone hydrochloride (5.0 g, 26.5 mmol), 4-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate (4.49 g, 26.5 mmol) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (3.3 g, 39.7 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 2 hours. The solvent was removed under reduce pressure. The resulting residue was re-suspended in aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide (50 mL) and heated at 100° C. overnight. The hot mixture was filtered, cooled and carefully acidifed with aqueous 6N HCl. The resulting mixture was filtered to give 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-imidazole-2-thiol (8.0 g, 26.3 mmol) as a yellow solid after drying.
