Procedure

A hot solution of 36.6 g (0.262 mole) of 2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-3,6-dione in 800 ml dry dimethylformamide was added rapidly from a dropping funnel to 12.5 g (0.52 mole) of oil-free sodium hydride. After stirring for 1 hour, the mixture was chilled and treated with 67.5 ml (0.59 mole) benzyl chloride during a period of a few minutes. After stirring at room temperature for 18 hours, 1 liter of water was added cautiously, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The extracts were washed with water, dried with sodium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness to yield a crystalline residue. Trituration in diethyl ether provided 77.0 g (91%) of product as colorless needles, melting point 168°-170° C.
