Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-hydroxy-2-(3-methoxy-4-methylthiophenyl)-4-methyl-5-(3-pyridyl)imidazole (0.98 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was added triethyl phosphite (1.03 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hours. Then the solution was poured into water (60 ml) and stirred at ambient temperature for an hour. The resulting precipitates were filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized from ethanol (6 ml) to give 2-(3-methoxy-4-methylthiophenyl)-4-methyl-5-(3-pyridyl)imidazole (0.58 g).
