Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Trifluoromethyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine (340 mg, 1.81 mmol, from Step C) was hydrogenated under atmospheric hydrogen with 10% palladium on carbon (60 mg) as a catalyst in ethanol (10 mL) at ambient temperature for 18 h. Filtration through Celite followed by concentration gave a dark colored oil. Flash chromatography (100% ethyl acetate, then 10% methanol/dichloromethane) gave the title compound as a white solid. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.80 (br, 1H), 3.40 (t, 2H, J=5.5 Hz), 4.22-4.26 (m, 4H); LC/MS 193 (M+1).
