Reaction Steps

60% Sodium hydride (289 mg) was added to a stirred solution of 2-(5-imino-2-pyrrolidinyl)-4,5-diphenyloxazole (2.0 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20.0 ml) in the presence of an atmospheric N2 gas under ice cooling and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 20 minutes and at room temperature for 1 hour 20 minutes. 3-Methoxybenzyl chloride (1.72 g) was added to the mixture under ice cooling and stirring was continued at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between 1N hydrochloric acid and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated in vacuo. The oily residue was chromatographed to afford 2-[5-imino-1-(3-methoxybenzyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]-4,5-diphenyloxazole (1.80 g) as an amorphous powder.
