Trifluoroacetic acid → 9-(4-chlorothiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-7-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dimethyl-8,9-dihydro-1H-pyrimido[4,5-a]pyrrolizine-2,4(3H,7H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL, 26.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 7-(((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)methyl)-9-(4-chlorothiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dimethyl-8,9-dihydro-1H-pyrimido[4,5-a]pyrrolizine-2,4(3H,7H)-dione (570 mg, 0.991 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) and water (3 mL). The mixture stirred at room temperature 20 mins. Further portions of water (1 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL) were added and the mixture stirred for a further 3 hours. The reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3(aq) and extracted with chloroform (3×). The combined organic extracts were passed through a hydrophobic frit and evaporated under vacuum. Purification by chromatography on silica, eluting with 0-100% EtOAc/hexane afforded the title compounds as a mixture of diastereomers.
