Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(3-(4-carbamoylbenzyl)-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)-3-methyl-N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (0.16 g, 0.36 mmol) and 5 N aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (5.0 mL, 25.0 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL) was stirred at reflux for 2 h, cooled to 0° C. and acidified with glacial acetic acid to pH˜6. The mixture was diluted with water (25 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×50 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with ether in hexanes to afford the title compound as a colorless solid in 50% yield (0.08 g): mp 120° C. (dec.): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.53 (s, 1H), 8.46 (s, 1H), 8.30 (t, J=5.8 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.71 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.44-7.32 (m, 2H), 6.24 (s, 1H), 4.47 (s, 2H), 4.39 (d, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 3.88-3.79 (m, 2H), 3.51-3.43 (m, 2H), 2.37 (s, 3H): 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 167.0, 162.9, 155.5, 148.8, 147.8, 142.5, 141.7, 139.0, 135.0, 130.0, 129.6, 127.7, 123.4, 119.9, 113.8, 112.1, 46.8, 42.5, 41.5, 15.7: MS (ES+) m/z 450.4 (M+1).
