Procedure

3-(1-((3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (500 mg, 1.8 mmol) (example 10-5), methyl 3-(bromomethyl)benzoate (456 mg, 2 mmol), and cesium carbonate (650 mg, 2 mmol) were stirred in DMF (4 mL) in the microwave reactor at 85° C. for 20 minutes. The reaction was cooled, diluted with 1N aqueous HCl (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×, 75 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude ester was dissolved in methanol (5 mL) and aqueous NaOH (50 mL, 10% by wt) was added and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was acidified with 1N HCl (150 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×, 75 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated on the rotovap. The free acid was triturated with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1/9) and dried under vacuum to afford 3-((3-(1-((3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2,4-dioxoimidazolidin-1-yl)methyl)benzoic acid (610 mg, 83%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 2.13 (s, 3H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 4.00 (s, 2H), 4.59 (s, 2H), 5.18 (s, 2H), MHz): δ 7.46-7.59 (m, 2H), 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.85-7.88 (m, 2H), 8.18 (s, 1H). The title compound was shown to inhibit hT2R08 bitter receptor and had an IC50 of 1.8 μM.
