Procedure

32 Grams (0.59 mol) of potassium borohydride were added portionwise to a solution of 30 g (0.15 mol) of 2-phenyl-4-acetyl-5-methylimidazole in 1500 ml of MeOH. After stirring overnight, a solid material was removed by filtration, then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 27 g of 2-phenyl-4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-5-methylimidazole. The crude compound thus isolated was used without further purification.
