Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of iso-propylmagnesium chloride (2M in tetrahydrofuran, 5.5 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred mixture of 3-[3-[[(1R,2R)-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropyl]amino]-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrazinyl]-4-methyl-benzoic acid, methyl ester (Example 136c, 500 mg), cyclopropylamine (0.3 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) at 0° C. After 15 min the reaction was quenched with sat. aqueous NH4Cl and extracted into ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude title product (525 mg). Purification by preparative HPLC (Gemini column, 0.1% ammonia:acetonitrile eluent) afforded the title compound.
