Sodium hydride → (8S)-2-chloro-9-[2-(6-methylpyrid-3-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

1 g (3.94 mmol) of (8S)-2-chloro-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one is added to a suspension of 394.27 mg (9.86 mmol) of sodium hydride in 40 mL of DMF. The reaction mixture is placed under magnetic stirring at room temperature for 15 minutes. A solution of 1.16 g (3.94 mmol) of 2-bromo-1-(6-methylpyrid-3-yl)ethanone hydrobromide in 10 mL of DMF is added dropwise to the reaction medium at 0° C. The reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction medium is evaporated to dryness. The crude product is taken up in water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. After purification by chromatography on silica gel (eluent A/B: heptane/EtOAc, gradient A/B: t 0 min 30% B, t 35 min 60% B, t 40 min 60% B), 480 mg of (8S)-2-chloro-9-[2-(6-methylpyrid-3-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one were obtained, corresponding to the following characteristics:
