Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(3-benzoyl-5-iodo-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-propionaldehyde (Prep 8, 700 mg, 1.7 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL), (1S,5R)-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (Prep 4, 399 mg, 1.7 mmol), AcOH (158 mg, 2.5 mmol) and NaBH(AcO)3 (410 mg, 1.9 mmol) were added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for further 1 hour. Water was added and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum, the residue re-dissolved in ethyl acetate and the mixture washed with a 5% solution of aqueous NaHCO3. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The crude was purified by flash chromatography with DCM-MeOH—NH4OH (97-3-1) to give the title compound as a white solid (880 mg).
