A solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 3-methyl-2-oxo-4-imidazolidinecarboxylate (400 mg, 2 mmol) (prepared as described in step (iii) of Example 13) and 2-bromopyridine (316 mg, 2 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 ml) was treated with cesium carbonate (977 mg, 3 mmol), Xantphos™ (87 mg, 0.15 mmol) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (45.8 mg, 0.05 mmol) and the mixture was heated under reflux under argon for 18 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with water and brine and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 0-100% ethyl acetate in isohexane (2 columns required) to give 1,1-dimethylethyl 3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(2-pyridinyl)-4-imidazolidinecarboxylate (198 mg, 36%). LC/MS [M+H]+=278. (ii) A solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(2-pyridinyl)-4-imidazolidinecarboxylate (198 mg, 0.71 mmol) in TFA/DCM (1:2, 4.5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours. The solution was evaporated and the residue was dried to give 3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(2-pyridinyl)-4-imidazolidinecarboxylic acid TFA salt (assume ˜0.71 mmol)) which was used in the next step. LC/MS [M+H]+=222.
