Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 9-methyl-6-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2-carboxylate (298 mg, 1.09 mmol) in methanol (0.5 mL) is added a solution of 2M aqueous NaOH (2.2 mL, 4.4 mmol). The mixture is warmed to 60° C. and stirred for 2 h, at which point it is acidified with concentrated HCl. The volume of the mixture is reduced to approximately 5 mL, and it is chilled to 0° C. The resultant suspension is filtered and the solid is washed with H2O and hexanes, to provide the title compound as a light yellow solid (135 mg, 51%).
