Abstract :
In the process of developing GnRH receptor antagonists, a novel base-catalyzed cyclization of compounds 5a–b was discovered, which led to the formation of the 2-aryl pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimid-7-one core stuctures 6a–b. These intermediates were further modified at positions 1, 2, 4 and 6 to afford a series of potent GnRH antagonists with low nanomolar Ki values.
