Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.00 g (4.20 mmol) of (7R,8aS)-7-hydroxy-2-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine (Preparation 6) and 0.644 mL (4.62 mmol) of triethylamine in 40 mL of methylene chloride was chilled to 0° C. and 0.34 mL (4.41 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride in 20 mL of methylene chloride was added slowly. After 30 minutes, water was added and the pH adjusted to 10 with 1M NaOH. The layers were separated, the organic phase was washed with water (2×), dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and evaporated to give 1.15 g (86%) of the title compound of sufficient purity for use in subsequent reactions. m/z (MH+) 317.
