Reaction Steps

To a solution of (−)-5-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-4-ethyl-1,6-dihydro-2-methoxy-6-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-[methoxycarbonyl]pyrimidine (0.45 g, 1.18 mmol) in 20 mL of MeOH was added 0.05 g of 10% Pd on carbon and the resulting suspension was hydrogenated under 100 psi for 12 h. The catalyst was then filtered through a pad of celite and was washed thoroughly with MeOH. All the MeOH washings were collected and the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain 0.42 g (99% yield) of (−)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-ethyl-2-oxo-6-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-[methoxycarbonyl]pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid as a white solid which was used in the next reaction without further purification.
