Under argon, (4R)-4-(4-cyano-2-nitrophenyl)-3,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (6.0 g, 11.3 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (420 ml). 10% Palladium on activated carbon (5.5 g) was then added, and the mixture was hydrogenated at RT and atmospheric pressure for 5.5 h (strictly monitored by HPLC). The reaction mixture was then filtered through kieselguhr and the filter residue was washed with methanol (1000 ml). The filtrate was concentrated and the crude product was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: ethyl acetate/cyclohexane 2:1). The title compound was obtained as a solid (2.28 g, 40% of theory).
