Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)carbonyl]-2-piperazinone (0.770 g, 3 mmol, e.g. as prepared in Intermediate 2) was dissolved in Dichloromethane (8 mL) and to this was added triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (1.425 g, 7.50 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours at room temperature. Dichloromethane (30 ml) and iced water (15 ml) were added and the pH was adjusted to pH 7 with solid sodium hydrogen carbonate. The organic phase was separated, washed with brine, dried and evaporated to give crude 1-[(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)carbonyl]-5-(ethyloxy)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrazine (0.556 g) which was used without further purification.
