Procedure

The amine from above was dissolved in dry THF (20 mL) and cooled to -20° C. The stirring reaction mixture was placed under argon and a solution of 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole-2-carbonyl chloride (2.18 g, 11.5 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight then concentrated to dryness and water was added. The suspension was filtered and the solid was washed with carbon tetrachloride and water, then dried in-vacuo (80° C.) to provide N-(N',N'-dimethylamino)-1-methyl-4-[1-methyl-4-nitroimidazole-2-carboxamido]imidazole-2-carboxamide as a pale yellow crystalline solid, 2.18 g (68.8% yield). A sample for analysis was obtained by recrystallization from water: mp 239° C. (dec.). TLC (5% MeOH/CHCl3) Rf 0.66. 1H--NMR (CDCl3); δ2.69 (s, 6H, N(CH3)2), 4.07 (s, 3H, N--CH3), 4.21 (s, 3H, N--CH3), 7.43 (s, 1H, NH). IR (nujol: υ3397 and 1678 cm-1. MS(El) m/z (rel. intensity) 336 (M+, 100), 293 (M+1-N(CH3)2, 85).
