Procedure

Under nitrogen, 138 mL (138 mmol) of 1.0M potassium t-butoxide in THF was added to a stirred solution of 24.5 g (125 mmol) of 1,4-dibutylimidazol-2-one from step 2A in 370 mL of DMF at -30° C. at such a rate to maintain the solution temperature below -20° C. After 10 min, 50 g [138 mmol (69% purity)] of 2-bromo-5-bromomethylpyridine from step 4 and 2.7 g (18.1 mmol) of sodium iodide were added. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h and then allowed to slowly warm to ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water; the organic layer was washed twice with brine and the combined aqueous phases were back-extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extractions were combined, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography (Waters Prep-500A) using hexane/ethyl acetate (25:75) gave 33 g (73%) of 1,4-dibutyl-1,3-dihydro-3-[(6-bromo-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-2H-imdazol-2-one as a reddish-brown waxy solid: NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.89 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 0.95 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 1.25-1.51 (m, 6H), 1.57-1.71 (m, 2H), 2.22 (t, J=8 Hz, 2H), 3.60 (t, J=7 Hz, 2H), 4.80 (s, 2H), 5.90 (s, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 7.49 (dd, J=9 and 2 Hz, 1H), 8.24 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H).
