Reaction Steps

N-(2-Oxo-1-imidazolidinyl)carbamic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (12.0 g, 0.06 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (75 ml) containing pyridine (5.2 g, 0.066 mol). The solution was cooled to 0° C. and treated slowly with bromoacetyl bromide (13.3 g, 0.066 mol). The solution was evaporated in vacuo to give a yellow oil. The oil was chromatographed on silica gel (~300 g) eluting with 10% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane. The appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid, 16.7 g.
