Sodium Iodide → (9aR)-benzyl 8-allyl-7-((R)-3-methyl-1-oxoisochroman-6-yl)hexahydro-1H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(6H)-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A solution of (3S)-benzyl 4-(2-hydroxy-2-((R)-3-methyl-1-oxoisochroman-6-yl)ethyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (2.07 g, 4.55 mmol) in thionyl chloride (30.0 mL, 411 mmol) was heated at reflux for 1 h. After removing the volatiles, the residue was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) and treated with allylamine (1.879 mL, 25.05 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting solution was treated with sodium iodide (0.0680 g, 0.455 mmol) and heated at 90° C. for 1 h. The solution was diluted in ethyl acetate (300 mL) and was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate three times, dried over sodium sulphate concentrated and the residue was purified on Biotage using 40-100% ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound: LC/MS: (M+1)+: 476.14.
