Reaction Steps

Methyl N-cyanobutyrimidate (240 g, 1.90 mol) from Example 2 was dissolved in absolute methanol (1.5 L) and glycine methyl ester HCl (250 g, 1.99 mol) added to the reaction mixture. The suspension was cooled to -5° C. and triethylamine (211 g, 2.09 mol) added over a period of 15 minutes. The resulting solution was stirred at 20° C. for 17 hours, then concentrated under reduced pressure to an oily-solid residue (690 g). The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and the insoluble salts removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed with water followed by 10% aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. This product (370 g) was used in the next step without further purification.
