Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.0 g 5-ethyl-2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolidinyl)nicotinic acid is added a solution of 0.1498 g sodium hydroxide in 20 mL absolute methanol. The mixture is stirred under nitrogen at room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed to give a solid which is dried in a vacuum oven at 60° C. for two days. The thus-formed sodium 5-ethyl-2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolidinyl)nicotinate darkens at 230° C. and decomposes at 247°-250° C.
