Potassium Carbonate → Lixazinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g of N-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-7-yl)oxybutyramide HCl suspended in 50 ml of ether is stirred with a two-fold stoichiometric excess of dilute aqueous potassium carbonate solution until the salt is completely dissolved. The organic layer is then separated, washed twice with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to yield N-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-7-yl)oxybutyramide as the free base.
