Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (±)-3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-4-methyl-1-phenyl-7-phenylamino-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-2-one (500 mg, 1.14 mmol) (from Example 1g supra) in pyridine (1 mL) (Fisher) was added acetic anhydride (1.0 mL) followed by addition of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (25 mg) (Aldrich) in one portion. The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. for 5 hours until no starting material was detectable by TLC analysis. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were successively washed with water (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product which was purified by flash chromatography to give (±)-N-[6-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-5-methyl-7-oxo-8-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]-N-phenyl-acetamide. (Yield 373 mg, 68.0%).
