Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(1-naphthalen-1-yl-cyclopentyl)-acetamidine; hydrochloride (343) (4.5 g, crude) in methanol (30 mL) were added (E,Z)-2-benzyloxy-3-hydroxy-but-2-enedioic acid 4-tert-butyl ester 1-methyl ester (4) (5.759 g, 18.7 mmol) and the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. in a ice bath. To this reaction mixture was then added sodium methoxide (25% in methanol, 10.1 mL, 46.74 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h (silica TLC, 50% ethyl acetate in hexane; Rf=0.5). The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic phase was thereafter dried and concentrated under vacuum to get a crude mass which was purified by CombiFlash eluted with a gradient mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane to get pure 5-benzyloxy-6-hydroxy-2-(1-naphthalen-1-yl-cyclopentylmethyl)-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (344) (4.1 g, 48%, 2 steps) as a brown sticky mass.
