Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-benzyloxy-2-[1-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-cyclopentylmethyl]-6-hydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (204) (2.0 g, 3.788 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran-H2O (2:1) (30 mL) Li(OH).H2O (1.591 g, 37.88 mmol) was added, then the reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 16 h. Silica thin layer chromatography was performed (40% ethyl acetate in hexane, Rf=0.1). After completion of the reaction, volatiles were removed, the reaction mixture was diluted with water, the pH was adjusted to pH ˜7 with 1N HCl, then the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic part was dried with Na2SO4, then concentrated to get pure 5-benzyloxy-2-[1-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-cyclopentylmethyl]-6-hydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (205) (1.3 g, 72.5%) as a white solid.
