2-Methyl-5,5-diphenyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (1 g, 4 mmol) and 1-(2-bromo-ethyl)-4-nitro-benzene (919 mg, 4 mmol) and potassium carbonate (669 mg, 4.8 mmol) are dissolved in 12 mL acetone and the reaction mixture is heated at 70° C. for 5 min in the microwave oven (Biotage Initiator) and again heated for 5 min at 120° C. The mixture is cooled to room temperature, filtered and the filtrate evaporated to yield the crude product which is subjected to flash chromatography. ISCO Companion CombiFlash, 80 g silica gel, cyclohexane/ethyl acetate, followed by a second purification step, 40 g silica gel, acetone/cylohexane to yield 2-methyl-3-[2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-ethyl]-5,5-diphenyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (750 mg, 45%). LC/MS at 254 nm; [M+H] 400; Rt 3.391 min.
