Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out under argon. Sodium 5-cyano-2-{(4S)-5-cyano-3,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl}benzenesulfinate (66 mg, 44 μmol; purity 32%) was suspended in DMF (600 μl). 1,1,1-Trifluoro-3-iodopropane (144 mg, 643 μmol; 14.6 eq.) was then added, and the mixture was heated in a closed tube at 120° C. overnight. The mixture was then filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC (column: Gromsil C-18 10 μm; mobile phase: acetonitrile/water+0.1% TFA 10:90→90:10). The title compound was obtained as a solid (7.4 mg, 30% of theory).
