Reaction Steps

To a solution of diethyl 2-(3-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)octylamino)nonanedioate (7.8 g) in ethanol (32 ml) was added a solution of potassium cyanate (3.0 g) in water (6 ml). The resulting suspension was stirred and cooled during the gradual addition of 2N-hydrochloric acid (16.7 ml). The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 22 hours, most of the ethanol was evaporated, water was added, and the insoluble oil was extracted with ether. The ether solution was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate, and evaporated. The yellow oil so obtained (8.0 g) was dissolved in light petroleum (b.p. 60°-80° C.) and the solution was refluxed for 4 hours, evaporated to dryness, and the residual oil was heated on the steambath for 2 hours to give 5-(6-ethoxycarbonylhexyl)-1-(3-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)octyl)hydantoin as a yellow oil (7.3 g), which was used without further purification.
