The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction was concentrated and diluted with water and acidified with 6N HCl to a pH of 6. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude residue was chromatographed (Biotage 65) eluting with 30-50% EtOAc/hexane to give (5R)-4-chloro-5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-7-ol (6.09 g, 63%).
