Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 14.9 mg) was added into a solution of tert-butyl (4R,7S,8aS)-4-benzhydryl-7-hydroxyhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(1H)-carboxylate (126.8 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.5 ml) under ice-cooling. After being stirred for 0.5 hour at the same temperature, methyl iodide was added to the reaction mixture. And this mixture was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. Then the reaction mixture was poured into water (10 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (1:2) as an eluent to give tert-butyl (4R,7S,8aS)-4-benzhydryl-7-methoxyhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(1H)-carboxylate (100.5 mg).
