Cl[CH2:2][CH2:3][NH:4][C:5]([NH:7][C@@H:8]([CH3:12])[CH2:9][O:10][CH3:11])=[O:6].[H-].[Na+].CCOC(C)=O.O>C1COCC1>[CH3:11][O:10][CH2:9][C@@H:8]([N:7]1[CH2:2][CH2:3][NH:4][C:5]1=[O:6])[CH3:12]A −20° C. solution of (S)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(1-methoxypropan-2-yl)urea (1.092 g, 5.61 mmol) in THF (25 mL) was treated portion-wise with NaH (60% in mineral oil, 505 mg, 12.62 mmol), allowed to warm to RT and stirred overnight. The mixture was treated with EtOAc, water, then 5% citric acid, the layers separated and the organic layer washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated to dryness and purified via silica gel chromatography (MeOH/EtOAc) to afford (S)-1-(1-methoxypropan-2-yl)imidazolidin-2-one (95 mg, 11%). MS (ESI) m/z: 159.1 (M+H+).
