Methyl Acrylate → Methyl 3-[3-[2-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]-2,4-dioxothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by starting with 3-[2-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione. This material (9.0 g, 22.4 mmol) was reacted with methyl acrylate as described in Example 1 to produce 6.54 g (59.8%) of methyl 3-[3-[2-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]-2,4-dioxothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]propanoate as an orange oil after chromatography. A portion of this material was crystallized from CH2Cl2 /hexane to afford a peach-colored solid, mp 122°-123° C.
