Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(2,5-dioxo-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)benzonitrile (example 1, 30 mg, 0.076 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL) is added to a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 4 mg, 0.1 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran. After 20 min methyl chloroformate (6 μL, 0.078 mmol) is added, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Water is added and the mixture is a) extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers are concentrated, and the residue is purified by reversed phase HPLC (Waters Xbridge™-C18, gradient of acetonitrile in water, 0.1% NH3). Yield: 2 mg; ESI mass spectrum [M+H]+=456; Retention time HPLC: 1.10 min (V011_S01).
