Reaction Steps

Add 3-bromo-7-chlorothiochroman-4-ol (5.27 g., 18.8 mmole) and imidazole (12.8 g., 188 mmole) to acetonitrile (100 mL.), and reflux for 4 hours. Pour the reaction mixture into water (500 mL.), and extract with chloroform (500 mL.). Wash the organic layer with water (500 mL.), dry it over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filter and evaporate in vacuo. Triturate the residue with anhydrous ether, filter and recrystallize from acetonitrile to give (±)-cis-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2-(1H-1-imidazolylmethyl)benzo[b]thiophene, m.p. 164°-165° C.
