Participants

Reaction Steps

1.9 g of 1-(2-chloro-5-nitrobenzyl)-4-chloro-5-cyanomethyl-2-phenylimidazole was boiled in a mixed solution of 12 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 12 ml of glacial acetic acid for 3 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure, and 50 ml of water was added to the residue, resulting in the formation of a colorless powder. The residue was dissolved in 30 ml of heated ethanol, and 30 ml of water was added. Upon cooling, there was obtained 1.7 g of 1-(2-chloro-5-nitrobenzyl)-4-chloro-2-phenylimidazole-5-acetic acid as colorless, prism-formed crystals. m.p. 200°-205° C.
