Participants

Reaction Steps

LHMDS (1M in THF; 2 eq) is added to a cold (−10° C.) stirred solution of methyl 2-(6-oxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-4-p-tolyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)pentanoate (1 eq) in dry DMF (2 mL/mmol of the limiting reagent). After stirring for 5 minutes, methyl iodide (2 eq) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. A saturated solution of ammonium chloride is then added and the aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The crude material is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to provide the methyl 2-(1-methyl-6-oxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-4-p-tolyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)pentanoate which is deprotected following general method D yielding to the title compound.
