Participants

Conditions

Temperature: 130 °C

Procedure

To a solution of 675 mg of 4-[2,5-dioxo-4-[(2-propenyloxy)methyl]imidazolidin-4-yl]benzonitrile and 622 mg of 4-bromo-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile in DMAC (2.5 mL) 214 mg of copper (I) oxide is added. The mixture is refluxed overnight at 130° C. The mixture is concentrated, taken in DCM, washed with a 10% aqueous ammonia solution and brine. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated under vacuum and purified on silica gel (ethyl acetate/cyclohexane: 0/100 to 50/50) to give the desired compound.
