Reaction Steps

Add 2.6 ml of an 11.25N sodium hydroxide solution at 70° C. to a solution of 1.72 g (14.85 mmol) of cyclobutane-1,1-diyldimethanol [F. X. Tavares, J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47 (21), 5057-5068] in 20 ml of toluene, 8 ml of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and 8 ml of water. After adding 0.10 g (0.30 mmol) of tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulphate and 1.00 g (2.97 mmol) of 4-chloro-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-phenylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine, stir the reaction mixture at 70° C. for 17 h. After cooling to room temperature, adjust to pH 7 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Extract three times with 50 ml of dichloromethane each time. Wash the combined organic extracts with satd. sodium chloride solution, dry over sodium sulphate and filter. Concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure. Stir the residue in acetonitrile, filter and purify the filtrate by means of preparative RP-HPLC (gradient: water/acetonitrile). 0.30 g (24% of theory) of the desired product are obtained.
