Reaction Steps

60% Sodium hydride in oil (65 mg) was dispersed in 4 ml of dimethylformamide, and 118 mg of 1,2,4-triazole was added thereto with ice cooling. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for ten minutes. The solution of 362 mg of 1-[(1R,2S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2,3-epoxy-1-methylpropyl]-3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2(1H,3H)-imidazolone prepared hereinabove in 2 ml of dimethylformamide was added thereto and the resulting mixture was heated at 50° C. for five hours. After cooling, to the reaction solution was added 8 ml of cold water and 40 ml of ethyl acetate to fractionate and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The ethyl acetate layers were combined, washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/1 to 2/1 to ethyl acetate) to give 350 mg of 1-[(1R,2S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propyl]-3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2(1H,3H)-imidazolone as a colorless powder.
