Imidazolone → 2-acetamido-2,3-dimethyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)butyramide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction mixture is checked for completeness of formation of 4-isopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-1-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-2-imidazolin-5-one by infrared spectroscopy. The product imidazolin-5-one is then hydrolyzed by diluting the solution with 100 mL of methylene chloride and washing twice with water and once with HCl 10%. The organic layer is concentrated in vacuo and the resulting yellowish oily residue is shaken with ether and allowed to stand. Upon standing the title product precipitates as a white solid, which after filtration, washing and drying has a mp of 202°-203° C.
