Reaction Steps

4-(2,5-Dioxo-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]-pyrimidin-4-yl)benzonitrile (example 1, 255 mg, 0.64 mmol) is added to a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 72 mg, 1.8 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Methanesulfonyl chloride (104 μL, 1.35 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 2 h. Water (1 mL) is added and the mixture is purified by reversed phase HPLC (Waters SunFire™-C18, gradient of acetonitrile in water, 0.1% TFA). Yield: 230 mg; ESI mass spectrum [M+H]+=476; Retention time HPLC: 0.91 min (Z018_S04).
