Reaction Steps

The equivalent amount of epoxycyclopentene is slowly added at 0° C. to 3.54 g (0.020 mol) of 5-methyl-4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (prepared by reaction of thymine with 1,2,4-triazole/POCl3 /triethylamine) in a mixture of 40 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran and 20 ml of dry dimethylsulfoxide with 5 mol % of the palladium(0) catalyst prepared in situ as above, and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The resulting suspension is filtered, the filtrate is concentrated and the residue is chromatographed over silica gel using methylene chloride/methanol 9/1. 1.34 g (25.8% of theory) of 1-[(1RS,4SR)-4-hydroxy-cyclopent-2-en-1-yl]-5-methyl-4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (Example 1.18.1.) of melting point 198° to 204° C. are obtained. 1H NMR (270 KHz, d6 -DMSO), δ[ppm]: 9.31 (s, 1H), 8.38 (s, 1H), 8.07 (s, 1H), 6.25 (m, 1H), 5.92 (m, 1H), 5.52 (m, 1H), 5.28 (d, 1H), 4.71 (m, 1H), 2.87 (m, 1H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 1.47 (m, 1H).
