Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.25 g (0.99 mmol) of (7S,8aS)-7-hydroxymethyl-2-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine (Preparation 13), 0.167 g (1.49 mmol) of 4-fluorophenol, 0.31 g (1.19 mmol) of triphenylphosphine and 0.19 mL (1.2 mmol) of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) in 10 mL of dry THF was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was dissolved in chloroform and washed with 1M sodium hydroxide. The organic phase was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and evaporated. Purification by flash silica gel chromatography with 1:1 hexane:ethyl acetate and a second chromatography with 3:1 hexane:ethyl acetate gave 0.185 g (54%) of the title compound. Mp (.HCl) 207.5-208° C. 13C NMR (base, CDCl3): δ 31.7, 35.2, 43.8, 49.1, 51.4, 56.6, 62.3, 72.5, 115.5, 115.6, 115.9, 144.9, 145.2, 149.9, 153.2, 155.1, 155.6, 158.8, 158.9. m/z (MH+) 347.
