Reaction Steps

0.3 g (0.0079 mol) of sodium borohydride in 8 ml of water was added dropwise to 7 g (0.024 mol) of 4-(4-chlorophenylmercapto)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(imidazol-1-yl)-butan-2-one, compound 6 of Example 6 hereinabove, at room temperature. The reaction mixture was subsequently stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and was poured onto water. The crystals which had precipitated were filtered off, and dried at 50° C. in vacuo. 6.5 g (91% of theory) of 4-(4-chlorophenylmercapto)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(imidazol-1-yl)-butan-2-ol of melting point 109°-110° C. were obtained.
