Procedure
2-[2-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-cyclopentane-1,3-dione (650 mg, 2.16 mmol) was slurried in acetone (20 ml) and potassium carbonate (300 mg, 2.16 mmol) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 5 minutes, dimethyl sulphate (0.20 ml, 2.16 ml) was added in one portion and the reaction was heated to reflux. After 3 hours at reflux the reaction was complete and subsequently cooled to room temperature, before stripping to dryness. The resulting orange solid was re-solubilised in ethyl acetate (20 ml) and 1M sodium hydroxide (20 ml) and the biphasic mixture separated. The aqueous layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 ml) before combining the organic layers, drying over magnesium sulphate, filtering and stripping to dryness to isolate a brown solid. This was purified by normal phase chromatography (gradient system of 100% dichloromethane−5% methanol:dichloromethane) to isolate 2-[2-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-3-methoxy-cyclopent-2-enone as a yellow foam (526 mg, 1.67 mmol, 77% yield).
