✦ Synopsis
Treatment of the title perhydropyrimidinone with diacetoxyiodobenzene and iodine followed by addition of allyltrimethylsilane and boron trifluoride etherate afforded 1-benzoyl-2(S)-tert-butyl-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-one in 65-71% yield, via an efficient three-step radical decarboxylation-oxidation-b-elimination tandem reaction. In contrast, when addition of allyltrimethylsilane/BF 3 •OEt 2 was suppressed, a remarkable five-step tandem process led to the formation of vinylic iodide, 1-benzoyl-2(S)-tertbutyl-5-iodo-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-one as the main product.

The title heterocycle is prepared in enantiomerically pure form and in 46-50% overall yield from (S)-asparagine, a readily available starting material. The synthetic route described in this report represents a major improvement over the original procedure (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1991, 3, 723), that
