4-Nitrobenzoyl chloride (15.78 g, 85.03 mmol) was added to a 0° C. solution of (R)-tert-butyl 4-(7-hydroxy-5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (25.85 g, 77.30 mmol) and NEt3 (11.73 g, 16.16 mL, 115.9 mmol) in DCM (400 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. The mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight (17 hours), after which saturated NaHCO3 was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and transferred to a separatory funnel. The organic layers were collected, and the aqueous extracts were washed with DCM (2×). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The crude was flashed on silica loaded with 7:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate (gradient 5:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to 2:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to 1:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate). Some clean tert-butyl 4-((5R,7R)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate, some clean tert-butyl 4-((5R,7S)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate and some mixed fractions were isolated. The mixed fractions were recolumned and combined with the previously isolated material to give tert-butyl 4-((5R,7R)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (14.27 g, 38%) and tert-butyl 4-((5R,7S)-5-methyl-7-(4-nitrobenzoyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (12.58 g, 34%). The use of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride has been shown to offer slightly better separation of the isomers.
