Reaction Steps

A solution of 37.6 g of methyl 2-(1-acetyl-4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)-6-methylnicotinate-1-oxide in 350 mL of acetic anhydride is stirred and heated at reflux for 31/2 hours. The reaction is concentrated in vacuo, and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel using hexane-ethyl acetate as eluant to give the desired product as a solid. Recrystallization of the solid from methylene chloride-hexanes affords analytically pure material, mp 111°-112° C.
