Cesium carbonate → (8S)-2-chloro-9-[2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 150 mg (0.591 mmol) of (8S)-2-chloro-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one and 578.13 mg (1.77 mmol) of cesium carbonate in 10 mL of acetonitrile is stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. 213.64 mg (0.709 mmol) of 2-bromo-1-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethanone hydrobromide are then added. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture is evaporated and the residue is taken up in water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 190 mg of (8S)-2-chloro-9-[2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, corresponding to the following characteristics:
