Participants

Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (8.72 g, 26.76 mmol) is added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-3-(4-{2-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-imidazolidin-4-yl]-ethoxy}-phenyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (2.0 g, 8.92 mmol) and Toluene-4-sulfonic acid 2-[3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-imidazolidin-4-yl]-ethyl ester (4.34 g, 9.51 mmol) in DMF (50 mL). The resultant mixture is stirred at 55° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 18 h, then diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed, dried, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (25% acetone in hexanes) to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, 2H, J=8.2 Hz), 7.32 (d, 2H, J=8.2 Hz), 7.03 (d, 2H, J=8.2 Hz), 6.65 (d, 2H, J=8.2 Hz), 4.40, 4.32 (ABq, 2H, J=14.7 Hz), 4.14-4.07 (m, 2H), 3.91 (t, 2H, J=5.7 Hz), 3.61-3.55 (m, 1H), 3.33 (t, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 2.96-2.79 (m, 6H), 2.22-2.15 (m, 1H), 1.87-1.80 (m, 1H), 1.40 (s, 3H), 1.21 (t, 3H, J=7.4 Hz). Rf=0.38 in 50% acetone in hexanes.
