A preparation method was developed for 1-aryl-2,4-disubstituted imidazol-5-ones from N-benzoyla,b-dehydrophenylalanine anilides or 2-phenyl-4-benzylidene-5-oxazolone and arylamine in the presence of trimethylchlorosilane.Dehydration of amides of N-substituted a,b-dehydro amino acids can result in 2-imidazolin-5-ones formation [1], and the trimethylchlorosilane can be used as dehydrating agent [25].This paper concerns the study of a reaction between N-substituted a,b-dehydrophenylalanine arylamides (I V) and trimethylchlorosilane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
