Reaction Steps

4N Hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate solution (3 ml) was added to a solution of (2R)-2-[[N-(2-methoxybenzyl)-N-(2-oxo-3,3-diphenylpropyl)amino]methyl]piperazine-1,4-dicarboxylic acid 4-benzyl ester 1-tert-butyl ester (160 mg) in ethyl acetate (3 ml) at room temperature. After being stirred for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved into dichloromethane (4 ml). Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (150 mg) was added to the stirred mixture and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 2N sodium hydroxide. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixed solvent of hexane and ethyl acetate (3:4) as an eluent to give (6R,9aR)-6-benzhydryl-8-(2-methoxybenzyl)octahydropyrazino[1,2-a]pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (108 mg) as a colorless powder.
