Reaction Steps

To a solution of rac-4-[(4S*,5R*)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-(4-ethoxy-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazole-1-carbonyl]-piperazin-2-one (160 mg, 0.261 mmol) in methylene chloride cooled to 0° C. was added 100 mg of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (≦77%, Aldrich). After 10 min, sodium bisulfite solution was added to quench the reaction. The product was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give the crude sulphoxide as light yellow foam. The crude sulphoxide/sulphone was taken in 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran, and morpholine (200 uL, 3.34 mmol, Aldrich) was added. The mixture was heated at reflux overnight. Upon cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the crude residue by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluting with 50-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes, then with 0-5% methanol in ethyl acetate) gave the tittle compound (94 mg, 55%). HR-MS (ES, m/z) calculated for C32H36N7O4Cl2 [(M+H)+] 652.2201, observed 652.2202.
