Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,4-dichloro-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopentapyrimidine (0.4 g, 2.1 mmol), N-benzyl-ethylamine (0.35 mL, 2.3 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (0.4 mL, 2.1 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (5 mL) was heated at a temperature in the range of 20° C. to 90° C. for 18 hours. After cooling to about 20 to 35° C., the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a light pink liquid (0.60 g, 98% yield).
