Procedure

To a suspension of ethyl 4-methyl-2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)thiazole-5-carboxylate (1.02 g, 4.00 mmol), tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (0.10 g) and potassium carbonate (0.90 g, 6.50 mmol) in acetone (80 mL) was added cyclopropylmethyl bromide (0.6 mL, 6.18 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 72 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was washed with water (100 mL) and hexanes (30 mL) to afford the title compound in 96% yield (1.20 g): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.23 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 4.07 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 3.67 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 3.16 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.58 (s, 3H), 1.28 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H), 0.97-0.88 (m, 1H), 0.59-0.42 (m, 2H), 0.25-0.12 (m, 2H); MS (ES+) m/z 310.3 (M+1).
