Reaction Steps
A mixture of 2-hydroxymethyl-imidazole from step 4 (150 mg, 0.4 mmol), OXONE®(450 mg, excess), water (2 ml), methanol (5 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) was stirred at 25° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 ml) and extracted with methylene chloride. After removal of solvent, the crude material was recrystallized from toluene to give 80 mg (70%) of 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-5-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-1H-imidazole: m.p. 115°-117° C. Anal. Calc'd. for C17H18N2O3FS·H2O: C, 56.03; 4.70; N, 7.69; S, 8.80. Found: C, 56.02; H, 4.64; N, 7.45; S, 8.90.
