Participants

Reaction Steps

The intermediate imidazolidinones and imidazolones were converted to the final products using the general procedures outlined in Scheme 2. 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-3-(2-propynyl)-2H-imidazol-2-one was reacted with paraformaldehyde and pyrrolidine in dioxane using cuprous chloride as catalyst to give 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-3-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]-2H-imidazol-2-one. The diethylamine analogue was prepared similarly and was reacted with cyanogen bromide to give the bromide XI which was reacted with imidazole to give 1,3-dihydro-1-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2-butynyl]-3-methyl-2H-imidazol-2-one and with 1-acetyl-4-methylimidazole to give XII which was hydrolyzed to 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-3-[4-(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2-butynyl]-2H-imidazol-2-one. The imidazolidinone analogues of Table 1, imidazolones of Table 2 and imidazolidinedione and tetrahydropyrimidinones of Table 3 were prepared by these general procedures.
