Reaction Steps

Methylamine (2 M in tetrahydrofuran) (1.2 mL, 24 mmol) followed by acetic acid (1.2 mL) were added to an ambient temperature solution of benzyl {1-(4-bromobenzyl)-2-[(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxohexyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl}carbamate (for synthesis see Example 37) (600 mg, 1.2 mmol) in xylene (10 mL). After stirring at 150° C. for 2 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. High pressure liquid chromatography (KR100-5C18 100×21.2 mm column) eluting with 10-100% acetonitrile/water containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid afforded benzyl {2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-[5-(2,2-dimethylbutyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]ethyl}carbamate.
