Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[(2-Benzyloxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-pyrimidin-5-ol (7.68 g) is dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) and thereto are added ethyl 4-bromo-butyrate (2.3 ml) and potassium carbonate (2.22 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. To the reaction solution are added ethyl 4-bromo-butyrate (2.3 ml) and potassium carbonate (2.22 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 days. To the reaction solution are added water and ethyl acetate, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1→4:1) to give ethyl 4-{2-[(2-benzyloxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amino]-pyrimidin-5-yloxy}-butyrate as crude product (11.3 g).
