Reaction Steps

A sealed 2.5 ml tube containing 0.05 g of 5,5-dimethyl-1-(2-chloropyrid-4-ylmethyl)-3-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione, 0.5 ml of dimethylformamide, 0.034 g of potassium carbonate and 0.021 ml of morpholine is placed in a Personal Chemistry Emrys Optimiser microwave oven. The mixture is irradiated with magnetic stirring at 210° C. for about 50 minutes. The reaction mixture is placed on a Bond Elut Varian cartridge of reference 1225-6053 containing 2 g of SCX phase conditioned with dimethylformamide. The cartridge is washed with methanol and then eluted with 2M ammoniacal methanol. The ammoniacal fractions are concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained is purified by flash chromatography using a cartridge 16 mm in diameter packed with 2 g of conditioned 15-35 μm silica, and then eluted with a mixture (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate) (8/2) (v/v) at a flow rate of 10 ml/minute. The fractions between 160 and 260 ml are concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. 0.01 g of 5,5-dimethyl-1-(2-morpholinopyrid-4-ylmethyl)-3-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione is thus obtained in the form of a powder, the characteristics of which product are as follows:
