Reaction Steps

A mixture of 40 mL of DMF, 2 g (7.89 mmol) of (S)-7-chloro-2-methyl-2-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one, 3.44 g (11.84 mmol) of 1-benzyloxy-4-(2-bromoethyl)benzene and 5.14 g (15.78 mmol) of cesium carbonate is heated in a Biotage microwave reactor at 120° C. for 20 minutes. The reaction medium is evaporated to dryness. After purification by chromatography on silica gel (eluent A/B: heptane/EtOAc, gradient A/B: t 0 min 20% B, t 25 min 50% B, t 35 min 50% B), 2.8 g of (S)-1-[2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)ethyl]-7-chloro-2-methyl-2-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one were obtained, corresponding to the following characteristics:
