4-Methylmorpholine → 2-(3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)-N-methylisonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)isonicotinic acid (0.18 g, 0.56 mmol) and 4-methylmorpholine (0.12 g, 1.18 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) was added isobutyl chloroformate (0.10 g, 0.69 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours, followed by the addition of methylamine hydrochloride (0.08 g, 1.12 mmol) and 4-methylmorpholine (0.06 g, 0.56 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 17 hours and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give 2-(3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)-N-methylisonicotinamide as a colorless solid (0.08 g, 43%): mp 118-120° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.54 (s, 1H), 8.36-8.34 (m, 1H), 7.40-7.37 (m, 1H), 7.29-7.24 (m, 2H), 7.06-6.99 (m, 2H), 6.47 (br s, 1H), 4.44 (s, 2H), 4.07-4.01 (m, 2H), 3.40-3.35 (m, 2H), 2.98 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 166.5, 153.0, 148.4, 143.1, 132.1, 129.9, 129.8, 116.1, 115.9, 115.6, 108.8, 47.3, 41.3, 41.0, 26.8; MS (ES+) m/z 329.2 (M+1).
