Reaction Steps

Into around-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 2-bromo-4-methoxycyclopentanone (compound 461.4, 600 mg, 1.86 mmol, 60%) in ACN (15 mL). Methyl 5-carbamimidoyl-2,4-dimethylbenzoate hydrochloride (compound 2.5, 320 mg) and potassium carbonate (430 mg, 3.11 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred overnight at 80° C. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and then washed with brine (2×20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with dichloromethane/methanol (10:1) as the eluent to obtain the title compound as a brown oil (200 mg, 27%).
