Methanol → 1-(4-Cyclopropylpyridin-3-yl)imidazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-(4-cyclopropylpyridin-3-yl)urea (I-1c: 200 mg, 0.836 mmol) in dry THF was added drop wise to a stirred mixture of NaH (40.16 mg, 1.67 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) at 0° C. over a period of 10 minutes. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (10% methanol in CHCl3). The reaction mixture was quenched with methanol and concentrated to afford the crude product. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (2% methanol in CHCl3) afforded 140 mg of the product (94% yield).
