Reaction Steps

(1H-indazol-3-ylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (0.12 g, 0.26 mmol), 4-[2-(2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-1-yl)ethoxy]-3-methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (0.08 g, 0.24 mmol) obtained in Step 1 and potassium carbonate (0.07 g, 0.47 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (3.0 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature for 1.0 hour. The reaction mixture was added with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=9/1) to obtain (E)-3-(2-{4-[2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)vinyl]-2-methoxy-3-nitrophenoxy}ethyl)imidazolidine 2,4-dione (0.03 g, 32%).
