Reaction Steps

0.4 g (3.5 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide is added to a solution of 4-methyl-1-phenylamino-2-methylthio-4-phenyl-2-imidazolin-5-one (Compound 9) (1 g, 3.2 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (30 ml), cooled beforehand to 0° C. The mixture is left to react for 0.5 hour at 0° C. 0.25 g (3.5 mmol) of acetyl chloride is then added and the mixture is left to react for 0.5 hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture is poured into 100 ml of water and the product is extracted with 100 ml of diethyl ether. The ethereal solution is washed with water to neutrality. The solution is dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated. A honey-like product is obtained which is purified by chromatography on a silica column. The purified product crystallizes from diisopropyl ether. 0.25 g of Compound 23 is obtained in the form of a white powder melting at 132° C.
