Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 4-[1 (2-chlorophenyl)methyl-2-propylthio-1H-imidazol-5-yl]butyrate (244 mg) was dissolved in ethanol (5 mL) and a solution of potassium hydroxide (950 mg) in water (5 mL) was added. After being stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, the solution was diluted with water, acidified to pH 3.5 to 4.0 with 10% hydrochloric acid solution and the precipitated product was filtered, washed well with water and recrystallized from acetonitrile to afford 0.144 g (64%) of 4-[1-(2-chlorophenyl)methyl-2-propylthio-1H-imidazol-5-yl]butyric acid; mp 98°-99° C.
