This radiochemical synthesis was carried out by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Cardiff, Wales. A methanolic solution of methyl (4S)-3-({[3-(4-[3-(acetylamino)phenyl]-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyridinyl)propyl]amino}carbonyl)-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate was exposed to tritium gas at 1 atmosphere pressure in the presence of 5% palladium on carbon with stirring overnight to give the tritiated methyl (4S)-3-{[(3-{4-[3-(acetylamino)phenyl]-1-piperidinyl}propyl)amino]carbonyl}-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate ((+)-isomer). After purification by reverse phase HPLC (Hypersil ODS, 4.6×100 mm, methanol:H2O:Et3N 10:90:1 to 100:0:1 in 15 min at 1.0 mL/min, with radiochemical and UV detection), this product was used as a radioligand in the MCH1 binding assays. The same procedure was carried out with H2 gas in place of 3H2 to afford the non-radioactive version of Compound A.
