Reaction Steps

A 100 mL reaction flask is charged with 3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-hexahydro-3a,7-methano-azulen-5-one (prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,887,622) (10 g, 0.045 mol), formamidine acetate (21 g, 0.2 mol), and butanol (50 mL). The reaction mixture is heated to 130° C. and stirred for 24 hours. The crude mass is washed once with aqueous sulfuric acid (10%, 100 mL) followed by twice with brine (30 mL). Butanol is recovered by roto-evaporation. The crude product is further purified with liquid chromatography (Biotage® system) and then crystallized. Product 5,7,7,10-tetramethyl-6,7,7a, 8,9,10-hexahydro-5H-6,10a-methanoazuleno[5,4-d]pyrimidine (˜5 g) is obtained.
