Procedure

The 5-(4-methylbenzylidene)-3-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-imidazolidine-2,4-dione (2.25 g, 7.16 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.22 g, 3.76 mmol) and methyl iodide (1.5 g, 3.76 mmol) were stirred together in DMF (20 mL) overnight. The solution was then diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined extracts were washed with brine (saturated), dried (over MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give 2.3 grams of 5-(4-methylbenzylidene)-3(2,5-difluorophenyl)-1-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione, m.p. 136°-140° C. (compound 104 under Table B).
