Reaction Steps

A mixture of [(S)-1-(2,6-dichloro-5-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-methanol (900 mg, 3.24 mmol) and lithium chloride (360 mg, 8.48 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (10 mL) was heated at 160° C. for 10 mins in a microwave reactor, then concentrated in vacuo to give 2,4-dichloro-6-((S)-2-hydroxymethyl-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyrimidin-5-ol. DIAD (700 μL, 3.56 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,4-dichloro-6-((S)-2-hydroxymethyl-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyrimidin-5-ol (3 mmol) and triphenyl phosphine (900 mg, 3.43 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) and the mixture stirred at RT for 1 h, then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0 to 20% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane) affording (S)-6,8-dichloro-2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H-5-oxa-7,9,9b-triaza-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene. LCMS (method A): RT=2.98 min, [M+H]−=246/248.
