Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out under argon. (4S)-4-[4-Cyano-2-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-6-methyl-2-oxo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (100 mg, 217 μmol), 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (165 mg, 869 μmol; 4 eq.), copper(II) acetate (158 mg, 869 μmol; 4 eq.) and 4 Å molecular sieve (500 mg) were initially charged in dichloromethane (5 ml), pyridine (281 μl; 16 eq.) and triethylamine (121 μl; 4 eq.) were added and the mixture was subsequently stirred at RT for 20 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered through kieselguhr which was then washed repeatedly with methanol, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC (Column: Gromsil, C-18 5 μm; mobile phase: acetonitrile/water+0.1% TFA 10:90→90:10). This gave the title compound as a colorless solid (34 mg, 26% of theory).
