Reaction Steps

To solid 7-methyl-7-phenyl-6,7-dihydrocyclopenta[e][1,3]oxazine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione (420 mg, 1.727 mmol) was added concentrated Ammonium Hydroxide (4706 μL, 121 mmol) in a sealed tube. The tube was heated for 4 h at 80° C. Cooled to rt. Removed the solvent under a stream of N2. Loaded the residue onto Silica gel and eluted with an EtOAc/Hexane gradient to afford 7-methyl-7-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione (293 mg, 1.209 mmol, 70.0% yield). LC-MS (M+H)+=243.1.
