Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]piperidine-4-carbaldehyde (26.0 g) in ethanol (100 mL) were added 4-imino-1-methyl-3-(phenylcarbonyl)imidazolidin-2-one (16.7 g) and potassium tert-butoxide (8.60 g) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hr. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution at room temperature, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the residue, and the insoluble material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate under reduced pressure, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methanol/ethyl acetate) and recrystallized from ethanol/water to give the title compound (270 mg).
