8-Methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydro-8H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-1,7-dicarboxylic acid 7-tert-butyl ester 39a (0.349 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 15 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, and sodium bicarbonate (0.84 g, 10 mmol) was added to the solution under stirring. Iodomethane (0.43 g, 3 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 hours and monitored by thin layer chromatography until the disappearance of the starting materials. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound 8-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydro-8H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-1,7-dicarboxylic acid 7-tert-butyl ester 1-methyl ester 39b (0.5 g, yield 100%) as a yellow oil.
