Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-3-isopropylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (1.3, 1.0 g, 5.31 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) was added (S)-α-methylbenzylamine (Sigma-Aldrich, 1.43 g, 11.7 mmol, 2.2 equiv). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 24 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual was taken up in EtOAc (70 mL) and washed with aqueous 1N HCl (2×50 mL) and brine (40 mL). The organic layer was dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 and then concentrated under reduced pressure to half the original volume to yield a precipitate. Hexane (20 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with hexane (20 mL), and dried to yield 1.0 g (69%) of the title compound as a white solid. LC/MS: m/z (ES+) 274 (M+H)+.1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 9.77 (s, 1H), 7.32 (m, 4H), 7.24 (m, 1H), 6.50 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1H), 4.87 (m, 1H), 4.52 (m, 1H), 4.31 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1H), 1.37 (m, 3H), 1.24 (m, 6H). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm 7.39-7.20 (m, 5H), 5.01 (m, 1H), 4.48 (m, 1H), 1.49 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3H), 1.36 (m, 6H).
