Reaction Steps

4-Benzylcarbamoyl-2-(ethoxycarbonylimidazolyl)-1-indanone can be prepared in the following way: a mixture of 0.5 g of 4-benzylcarbamoyl-2-bromo-1-indanone, 0.37 g of 2-ethoxycarbonylimidazole and 10 ml of toluene is heated at reflux for 12 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated on a rotary evaporator. Dichloromethane is added to the evaporation residue, filtration is carried out and the filtrate is washed with distilled water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated on a rotary evaporator. The brown oil obtained (0.26 g) is purified by chromatography on a silica column (diameter: 1.5 cm, height: 30 cm), elution being carried out with a dichloromethane/methanol (95/5 by volume) mixture. The foamy product obtained is triturated with 5 ml of ethyl acetate, filtered and the solid is washed-with ethyl acetate (2 x 5 ml) and dried at 50° C. under vacuum (1 mm Hg; 0.13 kPa). 0.07 g of 4-benzylcarbamoyl-2-(2-ethoxycarbonylimidazolyl)-1-indanone is obtained in the form of an orange solid melting at 218° C.
