Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,2-bis(3,5-dioxopiperazin-1-yl)ethane (2.0 g, 7.9m mol) and DMF (10 ml) was heated at 130° C. for 10 minutes. To the mixture, 37% aqueous formaldehyde solution (2 ml) was added gradually, and then the mixture was successively heated at 130° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand in a refrigerator overnight. The resulting precipitates were collected, washed with ethyl acetate and dried under reduced pressure to give the tilted compound (1.6 g; yield 64.7%).
