Acetic Acid → tert-Butyl 9-(5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl)-3-azaspiro[5.5]undecane-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (2.34 eq.) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 9-oxo-3-azaspiro[5.5]undecane-3-carboxylate (1.122 mmol, 1 eq.) and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine (1.14 eq.) in methylene chloride (7 ml). Sodium triacetoxyborhydride (1.4 eq) was then added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride and sat. NaHCO3 solution. The aqueous phase was washed with methylene chloride (2×20 ml), and the combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica, ethyl acetate/ethanol 10:1) to obtain the desired product. Yield: 62%
