Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl Z-4-[[2-butyl-5-[[1-(methoxymethyl)-2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinylidene]methyl]-1H-imidazol-1-yl]methyl]benzoate (0.307 g, 0.721 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) is added K2CO3 (0.500 g, 3.62 mmol). After stirring for 5 minutes 4-chloromethyl-2-methylthiazole hydrochloride (0.265 g, 1.44 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred for 48 hours. A pale brown slurry results which was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine and then dried over MgSO4. Chromatography eluting with 1% methanol in chloroform and evaporation in vacuo affords a viscous oil. This oil is dissolved in ether and treated with ethereal HCl to afford a foamy solid upon evaporation in vacuo. This solid is crystallized from 2-propanol/ether.
