Reaction Steps

A solution of 48.1 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide solution and 18.5 ml of water is added to a solution of 18.5 g of 2-[1-benzyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-furan in 160 ml of dioxan and the mixture is stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature. After the addition of 13.3 g of epichlorohydrin, the mixture is stirred for a further 48 hours at room temperature, then filtered and the filter residue is washed with dioxan/water 1:1 and then with ether. After drying, 2-[4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-phenyl]-5-[1-benzyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-furan is obtained in the form of a white crystallisate.
