Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of N-[4-(2-bromo-acetyl)-3-fluoro-phenyl]-acetamide (1.1 g, 2.8 mmol) and (+/−)-2-methyl-5-phenyl-5-propyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (541 mg, 2.5 mmol) in 5 mL acetone potassium carbonate (698 mg, 5 mmol) is added and the reaction mixture is heated at 70° C. for 10 min in the microwave oven (Biotage Initiator). The mixture is cooled to room temperature, filtered and the filtrate evaporated to yield the crude product which is subjected to flash chromatography. ISCO Companion CombiFlash, 40 g silica gel, cyclohexane/ethyl acetate-gradient, ethyl acetate 0-100% to give (+/−)-N-{3-fluoro-4-[2-(2-methyl-5-oxo-4-phenyl-4-propyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazol-1-yl)-acetyl]-phenyl}-acetamide (956 mg, 71%).
