Versuchsvorschrift
350 mg (1.222 mmol) of ethyl (3-cyclopropyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-acetate from Example 123A are placed in 2 ml methanol, treated with 0.5 ml 20% aqueous potassium hydroxide and stirred for two hours at room temperature. The methanol is removed on the rotary evaporator, and the residue acidified with 2 N hydrochloric acid and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is separated, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. It is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol first 50:1, then 25:1). 166 mg (53% of theory) of the target compound are thus obtained.
