Procedure

Methyl isocyanate (5.0 ml) was added to 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylidene)pyrrolidin-2-one (277 mg, 0.75 mmole) (J. Med. Chem., p1995, 30, 1987) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a residue, which was purified by using silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) and recrystallized from dichloromethane-ether, whereby 189 mg of the objective compound was obtained as white crystal in 70.3% yield. The physical constants are described on Table 1.
