-78 °C

A solution of 5-carboxymethyl-1-1-(2-chloro-phenyl) methyl-2-propylthio-1H-imidazole (3.74 g, 11.5 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was cooled to -78° C. under argon, and a solution of diisobutyl aluminum hydride in toluene (30 mL of 1 M) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at -78° C. for 1.5 hours, then allowed to slowly warm to room temperature. The reaction was quenched by pouring onto iced dilute acetic acid, the product was extracted into methylene chloride and the organic extracts were washed with water, 5% sodium carbonate solution and brine. The dried, concentrated product was a light tan solid (3.32 g). Crystallization from ethanol/water gave 1-(2-chlorophenyl)methyl-5-hydroxymethyl-2-propylthio-1H-imidazole; m.p. 98-101° C.
