The reaction of pyridine-4-amine (I) with 2-chloroethyl isocyanate (II) in toluene gives N-(2-chloroethyl)-N'-(4-pyridyl)urea (III), which is cyclized by means of NaH in DMF/THF, yielding 1-(4-pyridyl)imidazolidin-2-one (IV). Finally, this compound is condensed with 4-(5-bromopentyloxy)biphenyl (V) by means of NaH in DMF to afford the target disubstituted imidazolidinone. (1,2)
