Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(2-Chloroacetyl)-urea (0.68 g, 5.00 mmol) and isopropylamine (0.86 mL, 10.0 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was stirred for 6 h at room temperature and then heated to 135° C. for 4 hours. DMF was removed under vacuum and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 230-400 mesh; eluting with hexane:dichloromethane:ethyl acetate 2.5:1.0:0.5) to give 1-isopropyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione as a white solid. Yield: 0.20 g (28%).
