Dimethylformamide → HCID 9997536, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 250 mg (0.7 mmol) of (R)-3-amino-1-[4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one hydrochloride and 294 mg (2.2 mmol) of N-ethyl-diisopropylamine in 2 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide is cooled to 0° C. and treated with 267 mg (2.2 mol) of trimethylisocyanate. The reaction mixture is left to warm to RT and stirring is continued for 2 days. For the working-up, the suspension is evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product is triturated in water, then the recovered solid material triturated a second time in a mixture of ethyl acetate and a saturated solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate. The remaining solid is collected on a filter funnel to give, after drying under high vacuum, 155 mg (61% of theory) of (R)-{1-[4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl}-urea as a white solid; MS: m/e=344 (M+H)+.
