Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminium hydride (0.85 mL of a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran) was added dropwise to 5-(2,3-dichlorobenzenesulphonylamino)-6-(3-pyridinylmethoxy)pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, methyl ester (Example 134) (0.2 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) cooled to −65° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1h. Aqueous acetic acid was added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic solution was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. Chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/methanol mixtures gave the title compound (0.08 g).
