Procedure: The title compound is prepared by alkylation of the (RS)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester with 2,3,4-trifluorobenzyl bromide giving the (RS)-5-oxo-1-[4-(2,3,4-trifluoro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a white solid (94% of theory) which, thereupon, by treatment with methylamine in ethanol at 50° C. yields the (RS)-5-oxo-1-[4-(2,3,4-trifluoro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methylamide. Yield: 99% of theory as a white solid; MS: m/e=379 (M+H)+.

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The title compound, m/e=432.5 ([M+H]+), was produced in analogy with intermediate 1, steps 1 to 4. Thus, 1,8-octanediol was alkylated in step 1 with 2,3,4-trifluorobenzyl bromide, leading to 8-(2,3,4-trifluoro-benzyloxy)-octan-1-ol, which was oxidized in step 2 to 8-(2,3,4-trifluoro-benzyloxy)-octanoic acid. This was coupled in step 3 with (R)-3-amino-4-dimethylamino-butyric acid benzyl ester dihydrochloride to produce (R)-3-[8-(2,3,4-trifluoro-benzyloxy)-octanoylamino]-4-dimethylamino-butyric acid benzyl ester, which was hydrogenated in step 4.

Procedure: The product is prepared according to the procedure described in Example 22, using 100 mg of (8S)-2-morpholin-4-yl-8-trifluoromethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one (Example 1e), 214 mg of caesium carbonate and 82 mg of 1-(bromomethyl)-2,3,4-trifluorobenzene in 2 ml of dimethylformamide. After purification by preparative HPLC/MS (Method C), 76 mg of (8S)-2-(morpholin-4-yl)-9-(2,3,4-trifluorobenzyl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one are obtained in the form of an oil, the characteristics of which are the following: The product is prepared After purification by preparative HPLC/MS (Method C), 76 mg of (8S)-2-(morpholin-4-yl)-9-(2,3,4-trifluorobenzyl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one are obtained in the form of an oil
