Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (737 mg, 2.26 mmol) is added to a solution of 4-(2,5-dioxo-1-(3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)benzonitrile (example 1, 300 mg, 0.76 mmol) and methyl 2-bromopropionate (252 mg, 1.51 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10.0 mL), and the mixture is stirred at 50° C. over night. Water is added, and the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer is washed twice with water, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by reversed phase HPLC (Waters SunFire™-C18, gradient of acetonitrile in water, 0.1% TFA). Yield: 160 mg; ESI mass spectrum: [M+H]+=484; Retention time HPLC: 0.85 min (Z018_S04).
