Diethylamine → 1,3-dihydro-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-piperidinyl)-2H-imidazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9.0 g (0.0193 mol) of 2,4-dihydro-5-phenyl-2-[1-(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxycarbonyl)-4-piperidinyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 70 ml of diethylamine was stirred at room temperature until the end of the reaction monitored by thin layer chromatography. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue remaining was mixed with 300 ml of water and subjected to ultrasound treatment for 30 minutes. The insoluble matter was separated off by suction filtering and the aqueous filtrate was evaporated down in vacuo. The residue thus obtained was boiled with a little methanol and after cooling it was suction filtered. After drying 0.58 g (12.3% of theory) of colourless crystals of melting point 294° C. (D) and Rf=0.1 (eluant 1) were obtained.
