Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 32, 1-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dicyano-3-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one, (VIII) (200 mg, 0.68 mmol) was stirred in 10 mL pyridine at room temperature. To this mixture was added acetic anhydride (100 mg, 0.98 mmol). After stirring for 10 minutes the mixture was poured over a mixture of ice/HCl and filtered. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/heptane gave 60 mg of 1-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-acetoxyphenyl)-4,5-dicyano-3-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one (VI) (m.p. 164°-6° C.).
