Reaction Steps

trans-tert-Butyl 5a′,6′,7′,8′,9′,9a′-hexahydro-5′H-spiro[piperidine-4,4′-pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline]-1-carboxylate (0.311 g, 0.901 mmol) was suspended in hydrogen chloride in dioxane (2.0 mL of 4.0 M, 8.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then evaporated to dryness to give trans-5a′,6′,7′,8′,9′,9a′-hexahydro-5′H-spiro[piperidine-4,4′-pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline]. ESI-MS m/z calc. 245.2, found 246.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 0.32 minutes (3 min run).
