Participants

Reaction Steps

[(S)-3-Methyl-1-(pyrazin-2-ylcarbamoyl)-butyl]-carbamic acid t-butyl ester (0.645 g, 2.09 mmol) was treated with a 30% trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane (10 mL) solution at 0° C. and the resulting mixture allowed to warm to room temperature over 1.5 h. At this time the mixture was partioned between ethyl acetate and water and the layers separated. The aqueous phase was made basic (pH=10) by the addition of solid sodium hydroxide. The basic aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×) and the ethyl acetate layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford (S)-2-amino-4-methyl-pentanoic acid pyrazin-2-ylamide (0.341 g, 78%).
