Synthesis

Butoconazole synthesis:[3] Keith A. M. Walker U.S. Patent 4,078,071 (1978 to Syntex)
Reaction of epichlorohydrin with 4-chlorophenylbenzylmganeium chloride leads to 1-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-2-ol (3). Displacement with sodium imidazole, conversion of the secondary alcohol to the chloride (SOCl2), and displacement with 2,6-dichlorobenzenethiol concludes the synthesis of the antifungal butoconazole.
