Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 4-{2-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-5-[(5-isopropyl-2-methylphenoxy)methyl]-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl}piperazine-1-carboxylate (228 mg, 0.40 mmol) is added trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL). Gas evolution ensues and rapidly subsides. Toluene (10 mL) is added and removed under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is dissolved in EtOAc (25 mL) and extracted with saturated potassium carbonate (10 mL) followed by brine (10 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated at reduced pressure to obtain the title compound as a colorless oil. LC/MS (Method 3), M+H=473.2, Rt=2.35 min.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ=7.26 (d, 1H), 7.12 (d, 3H), 6.83 (m, 2H), 4.99 (s, 2H), 3.49 (m, 8H), 2.91 (m, 1H), 2.56, (s, 3H), 2.42 (q, 4H) 2.24 (s, 3H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.28 (d, 6H), 1.13 (t, 6H).
