1H-Imidazole-2-methanol

To a solution of compound 1 H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde (5g, 52.08 mmol) in MeOH (50 mL) was added sodium borohydride (3.93g, 104.16 mmol) portion-wise, at 5 00, and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at RT for 3h. The reaction mixture was quenched with brine (25 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude compound was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 10percent MeOH/CHCI3) to obtain (1H-imidazol-2-yl)-methanol as a pale yellow solid (4g, 78percent).R:0.1 (10percent MeOH/CHCI3).1H NMR (400MHz, CD3OD): O 6.97 (5, 2H), 4.61 (5, 2H).To a solution of 2-imidazolecarboxyaldehyde (18-1) (1.92 g, 20 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was suspended in methanol (30 ml), NaBHCompound 26-2 (0449) To a solution of 2-imidazolecarboxyaldehyde (26-1) (1.92 g, 20 mmol, 1.0 eq) was suspended in methanol (30 mL), NaBHPart A To a solution of compound 1 H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde (5g, 52.08 mmol) in MeOH (50 mL) was added sodium borohydride (3.93g, 104.16 mmol) portion-wise, at 5 00, and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at RT for 3h.

The reaction mixture was quenched with brine (25 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude compound was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 10% MeOH/CHCI3) to obtain To a solution of Compound 26-2 (0449) To a solution of Part A Preparation To a solution of 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.
