This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/551,602, filed March 9, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to bicyclic uracils and related compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, their synthesis, and their use as inhibitors of the HTV integrase enzyme. The compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of the present invention are useful for preventing or treating infection by HTV and for preventing or treating or delaying the onset of AIDS.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the etiological agent of the complex disease that includes progressive destruction of the immune system (acquired immune deficiency syndrome; AIDS) and degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system. This virus was previously known as LAV, HTLV-HI, or ARV. A common feature of retrovirus replication is the insertion by virally-encoded integrase of proviral DNA into the host cell genome, a required step in HTV replication in human T-lymphoid and monocytoid cells. Integration is believed to be mediated by integrase in three steps: assembly of a stable nucleoprotein complex with viral DNA sequences; cleavage of two nucleotides from the 3' termini of the linear proviral DNA; covalent joining of the recessed 3' OH termini of the proviral DNA at a staggered cut made at the host target site. The fourth step in the process, repair synthesis of the resultant gap, may be accomplished by cellular enzymes. Nucleotide sequencing of HTV shows the presence of a pol gene in one open reading frame [Ratner, L. et al., Nature, 313, 277(1985)]. Amino acid sequence homology provides evidence that the pol sequence encodes reverse transcriptase, integrase and an HTV protease [Toh, H. et al., EMBO J. 4, 1267 (1985); Power, M.D. et al., Science, 231, 1567 (1986); Pearl, L.H. et al., Nature, 329, 351 (1987)]. All three enzymes have been shown to be essential for the replication of HTV. It is known that some antiviral compounds which act as inhibitors of HTV replication are effective agents in the treatment of AIDS and similar diseases, including reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as azidothymidine (AZT) and efavirenz and protease inhbitors such as indinavir and nelfinavir. The compounds of this invention are inhibitors of HTV integrase and inhibitors of HIV replication. The inhibition of integrase in vitro and HIV replication in cells is a direct result of inhibiting the strand transfer reaction catalyzed by the recombinant integrase in vitro in HTV infected cells. The particular advantage of the present invention is highly specific inhibition of HTV integrase and HTV replication. The following references are of interest as background: US 6380249, US 6306891, and US 6262055 disclose 2,4-dioxobutyric acids and acid esters useful as HTV integrase inhibitors. WO 01/00578 discloses l-(aromatic- or heteroaromatic-substituted)-3-(heteroaromatic substituted)-l,3-propanediones useful as HTV integrase inhibitors. US 2003/0055071 (corresponding to WO 02/30930), WO 02/30426, and WO 02/55079 each disclose certain 8-hydroxy-l,6-naphthyridine-7-carboxamides as HTV integrase inhibitors. WO 02/036734 discloses certain aza- and polyaza-naphthalenyl ketones to be HTV integrase inhibitors. WO 03/016275 discloses certain compounds having integrase inhibitory activity. WO 03/35076 discloses certain 5,6-dihydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxamides as HTV integrase inhibitors, and WO 03/35077 discloses certain N-substituted 5-hydroxy-6-oxo-l,6- dihydropyrimidine-4-carboxamides as HTV integrase inhibitors. WO 03/062204 discloses certain hydroxynaphthyridinone carboxamides that are useful as HTV integrase inhibitors. WO 04/004657 discloses certain hydroxypyrrole derivatives that are HTV integrase inhibitors.

In all of these embodiments, the compound may optionally be used in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. As used herein, the term "alkyl" refers to any linear or branched chain alkyl group having a number of carbon atoms in the specified range. Thus, for example, "C\-β alkyl" (or "Ci-Cβ alkyl") refers to all of the hexyl alkyl and pentyl alkyl isomers as well as n-, iso-, sec- and t-butyl, n- and isopropyl, ethyl and methyl. As another example, "C1.4 alkyl" refers to n-, iso-, sec- and t-butyl, n- and isopropyl, ethyl and methyl. The term "alkylene" refers to any linear or branched chain alkylene group (or alternatively "alkanediyl") having a number of carbon atoms in the specified range. Thus, for example, "-Ci-6 alkylene-" refers to any of the Cl to Cβ linear or branched alkylenes. A class of alkylenes of particular interest with respect to the invention is -(CH2)l-6-, and sub-classes of particular interest include -(CHk)I -4-, -(CH2)l-3-, -(CH2)l-2-, and -CH2-. Also of interest is the alkylene -CH(CH3)-. The term "alkenyl" means any linear or branched chain alkenyl group having a number of carbon atoms in the specified range. Thus, for example, "C2-6 alkenyl" (or "C2-C6 alkenyl") refers to all of the hexenyl and pentenyl isomers as well as 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, isobutenyl, 1- propenyl, 2-propenyl, and ethenyl (or vinyl). The term "cycloalkyl" refers to any cyclic ring of an alkane having a number of carbon atoms in the specified range. Thus, for example, "C3_8 cycloalkyl" (or "C3-C8 cycloalkyl") refers to cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and cyclooctyl. The term "halogen" (or "halo") refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine (alternatively referred to as fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo). The term "haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group as defined above in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced with a halogen (i.e., F, Cl, Br and/or I). Thus, for example, "Ci-g haloalkyl" (or "Ci-Cβ haloalkyl") refers to a Cl to Cβ linear or branched alkyl group as defined above with one or more halogen substituents. The term "fiuoroalkyl" has an analogous meaning except that the halogen substituents are restricted to fluoro. Suitable fluoroalkyls include the series (CH2)θ-4CF3 (i.e., trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 3,3,3-trifluoro-n-propyl, etc.). The term "C4..7 azacycloalkyl" (or "C4-C7 azacycloalkyl") means a saturated cyclic ring consisting of one nitrogen and from four to seven carbon atoms (i.e., pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, azepanyl, or octahydroazocinyl). The term "C3..6 diazacycloalkyl" (or "C3-C6 diazacycloalkyl") means a saturated cyclic ring consisting of two nitrogens and from three to six carbon atoms (e.g., imidazolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, or piperazinyl). Unless expressly stated to the contrary, all ranges cited herein are inclusive. For example, a heterocyclic ring described as containing from "1 to 4 heteroatoms" means the ring can contain 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms. It is also to be understood that any range cited herein includes within its scope all of the sub-ranges within that range. Thus, for example, a heterocyclic ring described as containing from "1 to 4 heteroatoms" is intended to include as aspects thereof, heterocyclic rings containing 2 to 4 heteroatoms, 3 or 4 heteroatoms, 1 to 3 heteroatoms, 2 or 3 heteroatoms, 1 or 2 heteroatoms, 1 heteroatom, 2 heteroatoms, and so forth. When any variable (e.g., RA, RB; and HetA) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula I, Formula π, or in any other formula depicting and describing compounds of the invention, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. The term "substituted" (e.g., as in "is optionally substituted with from 1 to 5 substituents ...") includes mono- and poly-substitution by a named substituent to the extent such single and multiple substitution (including multiple substitution at the same site) is chemically allowed. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, substitution by a named substituent is permitted on any atom in a ring (e.g., cycloalkyl, aryl, a heteroaromatic ring, or a saturated heterocyclic ring) provided such ring substitution is chemically allowed and results in a stable compound. As an example, in the case where R.4 is a mono- or poly-substituted C3_g cycloalkyl, a substituent can be attached to the ring carbon atom of the cycloalkyl that is itself attached to the rest of the molecule; e.g., R4 = cyclohexyl mono-substituted with alkyl includes the following moiety, wherein the asterisk * denotes attachment of the R.4 group to the rest of the molecule:

C1-6 alkyl

In instances where a hydroxy (-OH) substituent(s) is(are) permitted on a heteroaromatic ring and keto-enol tautomerism is possible, it is understood that the substituent might in fact be present, in whole or in part, in the keto form, as exemplified here for a hydroxypyridinyl substituent:

O Compounds of the present invention having a hydroxy substituent on a carbon atom of a heteroaromatic ring are understood to include compounds in which only the hydroxy is present, compounds in which only the tautomeric keto form (i.e., an oxo substitutent) is present, and compounds in which the keto and enol forms are both present. Any of the various carbocyclic and heterocyclic rings and ring systems defined herein may be attached to the rest of the compound at any ring atom (i.e., any carbon atom or any heteroatom) provided that a stable compound results. Suitable bicyclic carbocycles include, for example, bicyclo[2.2. l]heptyl, bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl, decahydronaphthyl, and bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enyl, and octahydroindenyl. Suitable tricyclic carbocycles include, for example, adamantyl, dodecahydrofluorenyl, and tetradecahydroanthracenyl. Suitable heteroaromatic rings include, for example, pyridyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, thienyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isooxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, oxatriazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, and thiadiazolyl. Suitable heteroaryls which are bicyclic, fused ring systems include, for example, benzopiperidinyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzoxazolyl, chromenyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, cinnolinyl, quinazolinyl, and imidazo[l,2-a]pyridinyl. Suitable heteromonocycles include, for example, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, thiazolidinyl, isothiazolidinyl, oxazolidinyl, isoxazolidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, imidazolidinyl, piperazinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothienyl, pyrazolidinyl, hexahydropyrimidinyl, thiazinanyl, thiazepanyl, thiadiazepanyl, dithiazepanyl, azepanyl, diazepanyl, thiadiazinanyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrothiopyranyl, dioxanyl, and the mono-unsaturated counterparts of the foregoing saturated rings. Suitable bicyclic heterocycles include, for example, l-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octyl, l-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl, l-azabicyclo[4.4.0]decyl, decahydroquinolinyl, and decahydroisoquinolinyl. Suitable tricyclic heterocycles include, for example, the saturated counterparts to carbazole, xanthene, and acridine. A "stable" compound is a compound which can be prepared and isolated and whose structure and properties remain or can be caused to remain essentially unchanged for a period of time sufficient to allow use of the compound for the purposes described herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject). As a result of the selection of substituents and substituent patterns, certain of the compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers and can occur as mixtures of stereoisomers, or as individual diastereomers, or enantiomers. All isomeric forms of these compounds, whether isolated or in mixtures, are within the scope of the present invention.

For the purposes of the present invention, a reference herein to a compound of Formula I, II, IE, or IV is a reference to compound I, π, IH or IV per se, or to any one of its tautomers per se, or to mixtures thereof. The compounds of the present inventions are useful in the inhibition of HIV integrase, the prevention or treatment of infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HTV) and the prevention, treatment or the delay in the onset of consequent pathological conditions such as ADOS. Preventing ADDS, treating AIDS, delaying the onset of AIDS, or preventing or treating infection by HTV is defined as including, but not limited to, treatment of a wide range of states of HTV infection: AIDS, ARC (AIDS related complex), both symptomatic and asymptomatic, and actual or potential exposure to HTV. For example, the compounds of this invention are useful in treating infection by HIV after suspected past exposure to HTV by such means as blood transfusion, exchange of body fluids, bites, accidental needle stick, or exposure to patient blood during surgery. The compounds of this invention are useful in the preparation and execution of screening assays for antiviral compounds. For example, the compounds of this invention are useful for isolating enzyme mutants, which are excellent screening tools for more powerful antiviral compounds. Furthermore, the compounds of this invention are useful in establishing or determining the binding site of other antivirals to HIV integrase, e.g., by competitive inhibition. Thus the compounds of this invention are commercial products to be sold for these purposes. The compounds of the present invention may be administered in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt which possesses the effectiveness of the parent compound and which is not biologically or otherwise undesirable (e.g., is neither toxic nor otherwise deleterious to the recipient thereof). Suitable salts include acid addition salts which may, for example, be formed by mixing a solution of the compound of the present invention with a solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, or benzoic acid. Many of the compounds of the invention carry an acidic moiety, in which case suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can include alkali metal salts (e.g., sodium or potassium salts), alkaline earth metal salts (e.g., calcium or magnesium salts), and salts formed with suitable organic ligands such as quaternary ammonium salts. Also, in the case of an acid (-COOH) or alcohol group being present, pharmaceutically acceptable esters can be employed to modify the solubility or hydrolysis characteristics of the compound. The term "administration" and variants thereof (e.g., "administering" a compound) in reference to a compound of the invention mean providing the compound or a prodrug of the compound to the individual in need of treatment. When a compound of the invention or a prodrug thereof is provided in combination with one or more other active agents (e.g., antiviral agents useful for treating HTV infection or AIDS), "administration" and its variants are each understood to include concurrent and sequential provision of the compound or prodrug and other agents. As used herein, the term "composition" is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combining the specified ingredients in the specified amounts. By "pharmaceutically acceptable" is meant that the ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition must be compatible with each other and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. The term "subject" (alternatively referred to herein as "patient") as used herein refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment. The term "effective amount" as used herein means that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. In one embodiment, the effective amount is a "therapeutically effective amount" for the alleviation of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. In another embodiment, the effective amount is a "prophylactically effective amount" for prophylaxis of the symptoms of the disease or condition being prevented. The term also includes herein the amount of active compound sufficient to inhibit HTV integrase and thereby elicit the response being sought (i.e., an "inhibition effective amount"). When the active compound (i.e., active ingredient) is administered as the salt, references to the amount of active ingredient are to the free acid or free base form of the compound. For the purpose of inhibiting HTV integrase, preventing or treating HTV infection or preventing, treating or delaying the onset of AIDS, the compounds of the present invention, optionally in the form of a salt, can be administered by any means that produces contact of the active agent with the agent's site of action. They can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. They can be administered alone, but typically are administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. The compounds of the invention can, for example, be administered orally, parenterally (including subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques), by inhalation spray, or rectally, in the form of a unit dosage of a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of the compound and conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. Liquid preparations suitable for oral administration (e.g., suspensions, syrups, elixirs and the like) can be prepared according to techniques known in the art and can employ any of the usual media such as water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like. Solid preparations suitable for oral administration (e.g., powders, pills, capsules and tablets) can be prepared according to techniques known in the art and can employ such solid excipients as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Parenteral compositions can be prepared according to techniques known in the art and typically employ sterile water as a carrier and optionally other ingredients, such as a solubility aid. Injectable solutions can be prepared according to methods known in the art wherein the carrier comprises a saline solution, a glucose solution or a solution containing a mixture of saline and glucose. Further description of methods suitable for use in preparing pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention and of ingredients suitable for use in said compositions is provided in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th edition, edited by A. R. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., 1990. The compounds of this invention can be administered orally in a dosage range of 0.001 to 1000 mg/kg of mammal (e.g., human) body weight per day in a single dose or in divided doses. One preferred dosage range is 0.01 to 500 mg/kg body weight per day orally in a single dose or in divided doses. Another preferred dosage range is 0.1 to 100 mg/kg body weight per day orally in single or divided doses. For oral administration, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets or capsules containing 1.0 to 500 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. The specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular patient may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and the host undergoing therapy. As noted above, the present invention is also directed to use of the HtV integrase inhibitor compounds of the present invention with one or more agents useful in the treatment of HTV infection or AIDS. For example, the compounds of this invention may be effectively administered, whether at periods of pre-exposure and/or post-exposure, in combination with effective amounts of one or more HTV/AIDS antivirals, imunomodulators, antiinfectives, or vaccines useful for treating HTV infection or AIDS, such as those disclosed in Table 1 of WO 01/38332 or in the Table in WO 02/30930. Suitable HTV/ AIDS antivirals for use in combination with the compounds of the present invention include, for example, HTV protease inhibitors (e.g., indinavir, atazanavir, lopinavir optionally with ritonavir, saquinavir, or nelfinavir), nucleoside HTV reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., abacavir, lamivudine (3TC), zidovudine (AZT), or tenofovir), and non-nucleoside HTV reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., efavirenz or nevirapine). It will be understood that the scope of combinations of the compounds of this invention with HTV/AIDS antivirals, immunomodulators, anti-infectives or vaccines is not limited to the foreogoing substances or to the list in the above-referenced Tables in WO 01/38332 and WO 02/30930, but includes in principle any combination with any pharmaceutical composition useful for the treatment of ATDS. The HTV/AIDS antivirals and other agents will typically be employed in these combinations in their conventional dosage ranges and regimens as reported in the art, including, for example, the dosages described in the Physicians' Desk Reference, 57th edition, Thomson PDR, 2003. The dosage ranges for a compound of the invention in these combinations are the same as those set forth above.

The piperazin-2-ones 1 utilized in Schemes 1 and 2 can be prepared by a number of different methods described in the literature (e.g., N. Yahiro, et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan, 1986, vol. 59, p. 321; B. Lee, et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1999, vol. 40, p. 643; C. Dinsmore et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 2000, vol. 41, p. 6309) and by other methods given in the examples set forth below. Two general methods for piperazinone synthesis are given in Schemes 3 and 4. hi Scheme 3, an N-protected amino acid (PG = a carbamate protecting group such as Boc, Cbz, and Alloc) 7 is activated with a carbodiimide or other peptide coupling reagent and condensed with N-methoxy-N-methylamine to give amide 8. Amide 8 can then be reacted with an organometallic reagent or metal hydride reagent to give ketone or aldehyde 9. The ketone or aldehyde group in 9 can then be reacted with an amine in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride to give diamine 10. The newly introduced amino group in 10 can then be acylated with bromoacetyl bromide or equivalent alpha-haloacetic acid reagent to provide bromoacetamide 11. The amine protecting group in 11 can then be removed to permit intramolecular displacement of the bromide by the newly liberated amino group to give piperazinone 1. SCHEME 3

Scheme 4 depicts an alternative method for preparing piperazin-2-one 1, wherein an N- protected amino acid (PG = protecting group) 12 can be activated with a carbodiimide or other peptide coupling reagent and condensed with N-methoxy-N-methylamine to give amide 13. The nitrogen bearing the protecting group in 13 can then be deprotonated with a strong base such as sodium hydride and alkylated with an alkyl halide to give 14. The amide group in 14 can then be reacted with an organometallic reagent or metal hydride reagent to give ketone or aldehyde 15. The ketone or aldehyde group in 15 can then be reacted with glycine ester in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride to give 16. Removal of the amine protecting group in 16 followed by intramolecular closure of the newly liberated amino group onto the glycyl ester group gives piperazinone 1. SCHEME 4

Amine protective groups suitable for use in the foregoing schemes and methods for their formation and removal are described in T. H. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1991), pp. 315-385. Additional Rl group analogs of Formula I may be prepared by synthesizing 3,4-dihydro- 2H-pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,6,8(7H)-trione or 6-thioxo-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazino[l,2- c]pyrimidine-l,8-dione intermediates which contain a removable protecting group on nitrogen position 2, for example the N-allyl derivative 17 shown in Scheme 5. The N-allyl group may be removed in a two- step process which involves metal-catalyzed isomerization to the enamide 18 followed by hydrolytic removal of the propenyl group to give 19. The position 9 hydroxyl group can then be protected, e.g., with diazomethane to form a methyl ether such as 20. Alkylation of the nitrogen at position 2 in 20 by treatment with a base such as sodium hydride and a halide reagent bearing the Rl group gives 21. Removal of the methyl ether with acid then provides 3. SCHEME 5

Additional R.2, R3 and R.4 analogs of Formula I may be prepared by synthesizing 3,4- dihydro-2H-pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,6,8(7H)-trione or 6-thioxo-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazino[l,2- c]pyrimidine-l,8-dione intermediates which contain substituents at position 3, 4, or 7 suitable for chemical modification. An example of this as a means to produce various R.4 analogs of Formula I is given in Scheme 6. Removal of the N-Boc group from the position 7 piperidine substituent in 22 with acid (e.g., TFA) gives amine 23. The free piperidine nitrogen in 23 is then either acylated with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride to give 24 or reductively alkylated with a carbonyl compound such as cyclopropane carboxaldehyde and a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride to give 25. Additional examples of various R^, R3 and R4 analogs of Formula I involving chemical modification of position 3, 4, or 7 substituents are given in the Examples below. SCHEME 6

Step 1: 4-[2-(Benzyloxy)ethyl]-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-7-isopropyl-l,6,8- trioxo-l,3,4,6,7,8- hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidin-9-yl pivalate To a solution of 4-[2-(benzyloxy)ethyl]-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-9-hydroxy-7-isopro pyl-3,4- dihydro-2H-pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,6,8(7H)-trione (Example 9, Step 6, 1.18 g, 2.46 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (20 mL) at 0 0C were added diisopropylethylamine (856 μL, 4.91 mmol), trimethylacetyl chloride (454 μL, 3.69 mmol), and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (60 mg, 0.49 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature under inert atmosphere for 1.5 h. Addition of methanol resulted in the precipitation of the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 7.39 - 7.26 (m, 5 H), 7.07 - 7.03 (m, 2 H), 6.97 - 6.93 (m, 2 H), 5.18 - 5.12 (m, 1 H), 4.79 (m, 1 H), 4.64 - 4.58 (m, 1 H), 4.47 - 4.34 (m, 3 H), 3.66 - 3.54 (m, 1 H), 3.45 - 3.27 (m, 3 H), 1.88 (m, 1 H), 1.77 - 1.72 (m, 1 H), 1.46 - 1.44 (m, 6 H), 1.40 (s, 9 H). ES MS (M+ 1) = 566.7.

Step 2: 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-7-isopropyl-l,6,8-trio xo-l,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro- 2H-pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidme-9-yl pivalate A mixture of 4-[2-(benzyloxy)ethyl]-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-7-isopropyl-l,6,8- trioxo- l,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidin-9-yl pivalate (918 mg, 1.62 mmol) and 10% Pd(C) (92 mg) in ethyl acetate (32 mL) was stirred under a balloon atmosphere of hydrogen for 24 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, fresh catalyst was added and the mixture subjected to balloon hydrogenation for an additional 24 h. Analysis by LCMS showed slow conversion to the alcohol, so the mixture was again filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated. The residual solid was taken up in ethanol (32 mL) with a small amount of ethyl acetate added to aid dissolution of the material. 10% Pd(C) was added and the mixture subjected to balloon hydrogenation for 96 h, with fresh catalyst being added after the first 24 h. The reaction still appeared to be progressing slowly, so the mixture was filtered through Celite and Pearlman's catalyst was added to the filtrate. Hydrogenation (balloon) was complete after 48 h (fresh Pearlman's catalyst was added after the first 24 h). Filtration through Celite and concentration afforded the title compound as a foamy white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 7.28 - 7.26 (m, 2 H), 7.07 - 7.02 (m, 2 H), 5.21 - 5.14 (m, 1 H), 4.87 - 4.74 (m, 2 H), 4.48 - 4.36 (m, 1 H), 3.89 - 3.77 (m, 1 H), 3.49 - 3.25 (m, 3 H), 1.68 - 1.54 (m, 2 H), 1.46 (d, J = 6.8 MHz, 6 H), 1.40 (s, 9 H).

To this solution was added triethylamine (0.37 mL, 2.71 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.13 mL, 1.63 mmol). After 1 h, the resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as an orange foam, which was carried on crude. ES MS (M+H): 554.5.

Step 4: 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-9-hydroxy-4-[2-(lH-imidazol-l-yl)ethyl]-7 -isopropyl-3,4-dihydro-2H- pyrazino[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,6,8(7H)-trione Dry NaH (95%; 3 mg, 0.13 mmol) was taken up in anhydrous dimethylformamide (0.6 mL) under N2 and cooled to 00C.
