EXAMPLE 27; Preparation of 2-Amino-5-(2-methylthien-3-yl)-3-methyl-5-(3-pyrimidin-5-ylphenyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one; Step a); Preparation of Compound 19; A solution of diisopropylamine (8.28 g, 81.8 mmol) in THF (190 mL) at -20° C. was treated with n-butyllithium (52 mL of a 1.6 M solution in hexanes, 83.2 mmol) over a period of 20 min, then slowly warmed to 0° C. under stirring for 30 min. This solution was cooled to -78° C. and treated dropwise with a solution of thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (4.99 g, 38.9 mmol) in THF (40 mL) over a period of 10 min. The mixture was stirred at -78° C. for an additional 10 min, then treated with iodomethane (6.16 g, 43.3 mmol) and stirred for 1 h, allowing the solution to slowly warm to rt. Water (200 mL) was added, and the mixture was made acidic by adding 2 N HCl (40 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ether (3×75 mL), then the combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, 50:50:1 ethyl acetate/hexanes/acetic acid) afforded 19 (1.12 g, 20%) as a white solid: ¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃) δ 7.45 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 7.01 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 2.77 (s, 3H).
