Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl rac-2-[(1R,2R,4S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylamino]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (5.2 g), methanol (25 mL), and tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) was added a 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (33 mL) at room temperature, followed by stirring at 60° C. for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added 1 M hydrochloric acid, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water to obtain rac-2-[(1R,2R,4S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylamino]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (4.9 g) as a white powder.
