Participants

Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 6-acetyl-2-methyl-Spiro[3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4′-piperidine]-1′-carboxylate (300 mg, 0.86 mmol) and methylene chloride (1.7 mL) was added hydrogen chloride in dioxane (1.60 mL of 4 M, 6.40 mmol) The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 1-(2-methylspiro[3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4′-piperidine]-6-yl)ethanone dihydrochloride as a light green solid in quantitative yield. ESI-MS m/z calc. 247.2, found 248.2 (M+1)+; Retention time: 0.17 minutes (3 minute run).
