To a mixture of 4-(2-bromo-acetyl)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (812 mg, 3 mmol) and 2-methyl-5,5-diphenyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (750 mg, 3 mmol) in 12 mL acetone, potassium carbonate (502 mg, 3.6 mmol) is added and the reaction mixture is heated at 70° C. for 5 min in the microwave oven (Biotage Initiator). The mixture is cooled to room temperature, filtered and the filtrate evaporated to yield the crude product which is subjected to flash chromatography.
