The mixture was heated at 50° C. overnight then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel with 20-60% acetone in hexanes. Two isomers were obtained from the chromatography. The first isomer to elute was (S)-methyl 2-((6-carbamoyl-2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)amino)propanoate (A) and the second to elute was (S)-methyl 2-((4-carbamoyl-6-chloropyrimidin-2-yl)amino)propanoate (B). Separately, the appropriate product fractions were evaporated in vacuo to give (S)-methyl 2-((6-carbamoyl-2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)amino)propanoate (A) as a pale tan powder (5.133 g, 19.84 mmol, 79% yield). LC/MS: m/z=259.2 [M+H]+ and (S)-methyl 2-((4-carbamoyl-6-chloropyrimidin-2-yl)amino)propanoate (B) as a tan powder (0.652 g, 2.52 mmol, 10% yield). LC/MS: m/z=259.2 [M+H]+.
