Hydrochloric Acid → 2,3-dichloro-N-(2-{3-[2-(4-cyanophenyl)ethyl]-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl}ethyl)-N-methylbenzenesulphonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

34 mg (0.84 mmol) of NaH (60%) were added to a solution of 290 mg (0.82 mmol) of 2,3-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)ethyl]benzenesulphonamide in 10 ml of dimethylformamide, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. 177 mg (0.84 mmol) of 4-(2-bromoethyl)benzonitrile were then added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight. The mixture was then poured into water, 1 N HCl was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. The crude product obtained in this manner was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: dichloromethane/methanol 0-3%).
