Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-(2-Chloro-furo[2,3-b]pyrazin-6-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Silver triflate (6 mg) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.36 mL) are added to a solution of 4-[6-chloro-4-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-pyrazin-2-ylethynyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (430 mg) in dichloromethane (6 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 20 min, diluted with dichloromethane and washed with aqueous NaHCO3 solution and brine. The organic phase is dried (MgSO4) and the solvent is evaporated. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel (ethyl acetate/cyclohexane 25:70) to give the title compound as a colorless solid.
