Reaction Steps

1-[(1R,2S)-2-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methanesulfonyloxy-1-methylpropyl]-3-[4-(1H-1-tetrazolyl)phenyl]-2(1H,3H)-imidazolone (100 mg) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (4 ml), to which potassium carbonate (42 mg) was added, and the mixture was heated at 40° C. for 1 hour. The resultant was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 ml) and washed with water (10 ml) and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (10 ml) successively. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=1/4). The desired fraction was concentrated and the residue was recrystallized from diisopropyl ether to give 1-[(1R,2S)-2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2,3-epoxy-1-methylpropyl]-3-[4-(1H-1-tetrazolyl)phenyl]-2(1H,3H)-imidazolone (58 mg) as a colorless crystalline powder.
