Reaction Steps

In tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was dissolved 4-{2-[(4R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4yl]ethyl}-6-methoxypyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3(4H)-one (2.55 g, 8.34 mmol), and 1N Hydrochloric acid aqueous solution (25 ml) was added thereto at room temperature and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 16 hours. After cooling in the air, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and alkalized by adding 1N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (30 ml) under cooling on ice. The solution was extracted with a lower layer solvent of chloroform/methanol/water (7:3:1) and the extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure so as to yield 1.95 g (88%) of the title compound in the form of an orange solid.
