Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl N-{[6-hydroxy-2,4-dioxo-3-(phenylmethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-pyrimidinyl]carbonyl}glycinate (example 11a, 369 mg, 1.06 mmoles), 3-methoxybenzyl bromide (163 uL, 1.17 mmoles) and sodium carbonate (330 mg, 3.1 mmoles) in dimethylformamide (6.0 mL) was stirred under argon at 100° C. for 2.5 hours. The mixture was cooled, poured into 1 molar hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (×2). The ester was hydrolysed by stirring in a mixture of ethanol (3 mL) and 1 molar sodium hydroxide solution (3 mL) for 3 hours. The mixture was acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate. Purification by preparative HPLC (acetonitrile-water—0.1% TFA, 20-100%) and crystallization from ethanol-water gave the title compound (50 mg, 11%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 13.10 (br. s., 1 H), 10.12 (t, 1 H), 7.14-7.47 (m, 6 H), 6.69-6.97 (m, 3 H), 5.00 (s, 2 H), 5.03 (s, 2 H), 4.13 (d, J=5.56 Hz, 2 H), 3.71 (s, 3 H).
