1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → (+/-)-1-[3-[[(3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)methyl](phenylmethyl)amino]propyl]-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1′-Carbonylbis-1H-imidazole (0.02 mol) was added to a solution of (±)-N-(3-aminopropyl)-N′-[(3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)methyl]-N′-(phenylmethyl)-1,3-propanediamine (0.02 mol) in THF (100 ml). The reaction solution was stirred for 17 hours at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated. Water was added to the residue and the mixture was extracted with toluene. The organic layer was separated, dried, filtered and the solvent evaporated. The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate (50 ml). The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 3.3 g (42%) of (±)-1-[3-[[(3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)methyl](phenylmethyl)amino]propyl]-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (comp. 13); mp. 94.7° C.
