Reaction Steps

HCl (1.84 mL of 4 M in dioxanes, 7.34 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 6-chloro-2-methyl-spiro[3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4′-piperidine]-1′-carboxylate (624 mg, 1.84 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) and was stirred at 40° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was evaporated to dryness to yield 6′-chloro-2′-methyl-3′,4′-dihydro-2′H-spiro[piperidine-4,1′-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine]dihydrochloride (quantitative) that was used without further purification. ESI-MS m/z calc. 239.1, found 240.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 0.22 minutes (3 min run).
