Reaction Steps

In N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) were dissolved 6-methoxypyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3(4H)-one (1.48 g, 8.34 mmol) and (4R)-4-(2-iodoethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (3.20 g, 12.51 mmol). Cesium carbonate (3.81 g, 11.68 mmol) was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 13 hours. After cooling in the air, water was added to the reaction solution and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to yield 2.55 g (100%) of the title compound in the form of a light yellow oily product.
