Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.33 g (14.6 mmol) of triphosgene in 15 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise a solution of 2.07 g (7.30 mmol) of 1,1-dimethyl-4-{1-(3-phenylphenyl)ethyl}semicarbazide (produced in the following Reference Production Example 7) in 20 ml of methylene chloride with ice-cooling. The mixture was removed from an ice bath, warmed to room temperature and heated under reflux for 4 hours. After allowing to cool to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into 150 ml of an about 5% aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The organic layer was washed with water, dried and concentrated. The residue (1.93 g) was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluted with n-hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1 and then 5:1 and then 3:1) to obtain 418 mg (1.33 mmol) of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-{1-(3-phenylphenyl)ethyl}-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (the compound 12 of the present invention) as an oil.
