Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-hydroxy-6-oxo-6H-pyridazin-1-yl)-propionic acid methyl ester (3.0 g, 11.3 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide was treated with potassium carbonate (2.33 g, 16.9 mmol) and 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-pyrimidine (3.1 g, 16.9 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 1 h. At this time, the reaction was cooled to 25° C. and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The combined organics were washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography afforded 3-cyclopentyl-2-[6-oxo-4-(4-trifluoromethyl-pyrimidin-2-yloxy)-6H-pyridazin-1-yl]-propionic acid methyl ester as a light oil (4.0 g, 86%).
