4-Chlorobenzaldehyde → 3-(3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propyl)-6-chloro-5-((4-chlorophenyl) (hydroxy)methyl)-1-methylpyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propyl)-6-chloro-1-methylpyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (383 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (4 mL) at −78° C. was added LDA (1.8N in THF, 2.7 mL, 4.86 mmol) dropwise. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min then 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (280 mg, 2 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added dropwise. After stirring for 20 min the reaction was quenched with aq. NH4Cl (2 mL) then diluted with EA (5 mL) and water (2 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (5 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to a residue which was purified by chromatography eluted with PE/EA (2:1) to give 3-(3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propyl)-6-chloro-5-((4-chlorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl)-1-methylpyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (155 mg, 30% yield) as a white solid. LCMS: (M+-OH—H) 506 and TR=2.357 min.
