1-((E)-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)-
imidazolidinyl-2-imine was dissolved in 15 mL of toluene and 5 mL of
tetrahydrofuran. Then a di-n-butylmagnesium solution (1 mL, 1
mmol, 1 M in heptane) was added at −78 °C. During stirring for 16 h
the mixture was warmed room temperature. Then the mixture was
heated to 50 °C and it was stirred for 1 h. The mixture was filtered off,
and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved
in a toluene/pentane/tetrahydrofuran mixture, and the product IX
was crystallized in the form of colorless blocks at room temperature.
