Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,9aS)-8-benzyl 2-tert-butyl 3-(3-cyano-4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)tetrahydro-1H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrazine-2,8(9H,9aH)-dicarboxylate (600 mg, 1.180 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was added Palladium on carbon (10%,126 mg, 0.118 mmol) and the resulting mixture was subjected to hydrogenation at rt overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, washed with mixture of methanol and methylene chloride (1:1) and the filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound: LC/MS: (M+1)+: 375.28.
