4-Nitrobenzoyl chloride (15.78 g, 85.03 mmol) was added to a 0° C. solution of (R)-tert-butyl 4-(7-hydroxy-5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (25.85 g, 77.30 mmol) and NEt3 (11.73 g, 16.16 mL, 115.9 mmol) in DCM (400 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. The mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight (17 hours), after which saturated NaHCO3 was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and transferred to a separatory funnel. The organic layers were collected, and the aqueous extracts were washed with DCM (2 X). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The crude was flashed on silica loaded with 7:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate (gradient 5:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to 2:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to 1:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate). Some clean tert-butyl 4-((5R,7R)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate, some clean tert-butyl 4-((5R,7S)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate and some mixed fractions were isolated. The mixed fractions were recolumned and combined with the previously isolated material to give tert-butyl 4-((5R,7R)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (14.27 g, 38%) and tert-butyl 4-((5R,7S)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (12.58 g, 34%). The use of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride has been shown to offer slightly better separation of the isomers.
