The reaction of 2-chloropyrimidine (I) with NaOMe in methanol gives 2-methoxypyrimidine (II), which is iodinated with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and trifluoroacetic anhydride in refluxing THF to yield 5-iodo-2-methoxypyrimidine (III). The condensation of (III) with methyl acrylate (IV) by means of Pd(OAc)2, K2CO3 and Bu4NCl at 120 C affords 3-(2-methoxypyrimidin-5-yl)acrylic acid methyl ester (V), which is hydrolyzed with KOH in methanol to provide the free acid (VI). The esterification of (VI) with p-nitrophenol (VII) by means of DCC and DMAP in dichloromethane gives the activate ester (VIII). The condensation of (VIII) with the tetracyclic ketone (IX) (obtained by treatment of the dimeric ketonic compound (X) with NaOMe in methanol) affords the adduct (XI), which is treated with HBr in acetonitrile to open the cyclopropane ring and provide the bromomethyl compound (XII). The aromatization of (XII) with p-nitrophenyl chloroformate (XIII) and TEA in dichloromethane affords the activated carbonate ester (XIV), which is finally treated with 1-methylpiperazine (XV) to furnish the target carbamate.
