Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 1-(4-pyridyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)imidazole (0.13 g, 0.3 mmol) and 10% palladium on activated carbon (100 mg) in EtOAc was stirred under an atmosphere of H2 for 10 h, at which time the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with 1:1 EtOAc/hexanes. The material which was isolated was crystallized from EtOAc/hexanes to afford the title compound (0.07 g, 70%). m.p. 230-231° C.
