Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(2-cyanocyclopent-1-enylcarbamoyl)benzamide (example 75a) (500 mg, 1.96 mmol) and NaOH (2 N, 2.7 mL) in EtOH (20 mL) was stirred at 100° C. under nitrogen for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the clear reaction solution was filtered and the filtrate was carefully neutralized with 10% AcOH with vigorous stirring at 0° C. The resultant precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with warm water and then 20% EtOH in water to give the final product 4-amino-6,7-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-2(5H)-one (200 mg, 68%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ10.57 (brs, 1H), 6.93 (brs, 1H), 6.65 (brs, 1H), 2.56 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 2.43 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 2H) 1.96-1.89 (m, 2H). MS 152 (MH+).
