Reaction Steps

4-(4-Cyano-2-methoxycarbonyl-phenyl)-3,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (intermediate 9)(3.39 g, 6.76 mmol) and lithium hydroxide (194.4 mg, 8.11 mmol) are stirred in 1,4-dioxane (84 ml) and water (6.0 mL) at room temperature for 100 h. Water is added and the mixture is acidified with hydrochloric acid (4.0 mol/L) to a pH value of 3. The aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane three times. The combined organic phase is dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified by reversed phase HPLC. Yield: 1.34 g. ESI mass spectrum: [M+H]+=488; Retention time HPLC: 1.08 min (HPLC method Z018_S04).
