Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 7,8-dihydropyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine-6(5H)-carboxylate (150 mg, 0.724 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL)/H2O (2 mL) is added KOH (500 mg, 8.91 mmol). The mixture is stirred overnight at rt and 4 hr at 65° C. The reaction mixture is cooled, and brine (50 mL) is added. The solution is extracted with DCM (3×100 mL). The combined organic extracts are dried and evaporated to yield the title compound. MS (+VE) m/z 136.20 (M++1).
