Procedure

The 1,3-dihydro-1-(2-propynyl)-2H-imidazol-2-one intermediates were prepared as outlined in Scheme 2 for the synthesis of 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-3-(2-propynyl)-2H-imidazol-2-one (X). Aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal was reacted with propargylbromide to give a mixture of the tertiary and secondary amines VII and VIII which were separated by chromatography on silica gel. Treatment of VIII with methyl isocyanate gave IX and this was heated in aqueous oxalic acid to give 1-methyl-3-(2-propynyl)-2H-imidazol-2-one (X).
