반응 단계

A solution of 8.18 mmol of 4-iodobenzonitrile [3058-39-7] in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran at −20° C. is admixed dropwise with 8.18 mmol of isopropylmagnesium chloride (2M in tetrahydrofuran) and the reaction mixture is subsequently stirred for 15 minutes. A mixture of 4.09 mmol of 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-7-one [426219-43-4] in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added. After 1 hour the reaction mixture is poured into 1:1 1N HCl/dichloromethane and the phases are separated. The aqueous phase is rendered basic with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, stirred thoroughly, extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (in order to separate unreacted ketone) and then extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined dichloromethane phases are dried with sodium sulphate and evaporated. From the residue the title compound is obtained by means of flash chromatography (SiO2 60F) as a white foam. Rf=0.20 (dichloromethane/ammonia (2M in EtOH) 95:5), Rt=3.81 (Gradient I).
