Methanol → (S)-2-{(R)-4-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-1-yl}-4,4-dimethyl-pentanoic acid (2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-2-{(R)-4-[4-(2-tert-butoxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-1-yl}-4,4-dimethyl-pentanoic acid (2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-amide (295 mg, 0.46 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) at 0° C. under an atmosphere of dry argon was slowly added a solution of trimethylsilyl iodide (183 uL, 1.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 mL). The reaction mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. Methanol (0.5 mL) was added to quench the reaction. The reaction mixture extracted with dichloromethane and the organic layer was washed sequentially with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate, 5% aqueous sodium thiosulfate, brine, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography over silica gel gradient eluted from 100% hexane up to 50% ethyl acetate/50% hexane over 30 minutes. Concentration of the product containing fractions gave (S)-2-{(R)-4-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-1-yl}-4,4-dimethyl-pentanoic acid (2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-amide as a white solid (126 mg, 47%).
