Reaction Steps

Phenyl magnesium bromide (1M solution in THF, 0.0021 mol) was added to a solution of 3-fluoro-phenethyl amine (0.27 mL, 0.0021 mol) in anhydrous toluene (20 mL). After stirring the mixture at 20° C. for 10 min, 2-isopropyl-3-(2-methoxy-benzoylamino)-but-3-enoic acid methyl ester of step (b) above in this method (Method B of Example 13) (0.05 g, 0.0017 mol) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 10 hours, cooled and ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added followed by 1N HCl (50 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 1N HCl (3×100 mL), water (100 mL), and brine (100 mL). After drying over sodium sulfate and concentration on a rotatory evaporator, the product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (200-400 mesh) eluting with 12% EtOAc/hexanes to give 3-[2-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-ethyl]-5-isopropyl-2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-6-methyl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (0.3 g, 46%) as a white solid.
