Diisopropylethylamine → (5S)-5-Methyl-5-({[4-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]-3,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl]sulfonyl}methyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione

Reaction Steps

4-[(Trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride (3.43 g, 15.9 mmol) was stirred in THF (100 mL) with [(4S)-4-methyl-2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl]methanesulfonyl chloride (3.39 g, 15 mmol) and cooled in an ice salt bath (temperature about −10° C.). N-Ethyldiisopropylamine (5.13 mL, 30 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added dropwise over 2 hours and the mixture stirred a further 2 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with water, the aqueous layer extracted into EtOAc (×2), the organic phases combined, washed with 2M HCl (×2), saturated bicarbonate solution (×2), followed by brine, dried (sodium sulphate) and evaporated to give the crude product (5.06 g). This was used without further purification.
