Sodium hydride → HCID 53728677, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A near solution of 9.46 g (0.050 mole) of 1-[(phenylmethylene)amino]-2-imidazolidinone in 125 ml of dimethylformamide is treated portionwise with 2.0 g (0.050 mole) of NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil) with the temperature rising to 30° C. The reaction is stirred at ambient temperature for 15 minutes with a solid forming. A 100 ml portion of dimethylformamide is added, to aid in stirring, and the mixture is stirred at 80° to 90° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture is cooled to ambient temperature and treated all at once with 12.2 g (0.100 mole) of dimethylaminopropyl chloride (prepared as described in Part I above). The resulting mixture is heated at 80° to 90° C. for 3 hours with near dissolution. The solvent is removed in vacuo. The residual semi-solid is dissolved in H2O (150 ml), and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 ml). The combined extracts are dried over MgSO4 and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The residual solid is washed with ether and air-dried to yield 4.8 g of 3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1-[(phenylmethylene)amino]-2-imidazolidinone.
