Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl[5-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-5-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3-pyridin-2-ylimidazolidin-1-yl]acetate, isomer A from Step A (67.0 mg, 0.172 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added a solution of 1 N NaOH (0.516 mL, 0.516 mmol) and stirring continued for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with DMSO (1 mL) and purified directly by HPLC using a reversed phase C18 column and eluting with a gradient of H2O:CH3CN:CF3CO2H—90:10:0.1 to 5:95:0.1. Lyophilization provided the racemic title compound. MS: m/z=362 (M+1).
