Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl Z-4-[[2-butyl-5-[[1-butyl-3-(2-naphthalenylmethyl)-2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinylidene]methyl]-1H-imidazol-1-yl]methyl]benzoate (1.00 g, 2.281 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) is added K2CO3 (1.580 g, 0.011 moles). After stirring for 15 minutes 1-bomomethylnaphthalene (0.53 g, 2.40 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred for 24 hours then the solvents were removed under high vacuum. After diluting with ethyl acetate and washing with water and brine the solution is dried over MgSO4. Evaporation in vacuo affords a viscous oil which is dissolved in ether and treated with ethereal HCl to afford a foamy solid upon evaporation in vacuo. This solid is crystallized from ethyl acetate/ether.
