Reaction Steps

(1-{5-[2-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-2-oxo-ethylcarbamoyl]-3-phenyl-imidazolidine-1-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester (90 mg) was dissolved in m-xylenes (3 mL) and heated at 135° C. Solid ammonium acetate (100 mg, 1.29 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 135° C. After 120 minutes, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The crude material was purified via silica gel chromatography (eluent: EtOAc/hexanes) to yield the product {1-[4-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-1′-phenyl-1′,2′,4′,5′-tetrahydro-1H-[2,4′]biimidazolyl-3′-carbonyl]-2-methyl-propyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester (40.2 mg, 0.0764 mmol): LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C25H28BrN5O3: 526.4 (M+). Found: 526.4/528.3 (M+H+).
