Reaction Steps

HCl (6 N aqueous, 714 mL) was added to a yellow solution of methyl 5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2-carboxylate (17.8 g, 53.6 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (715 mL) within a 2 L round bottom flask, and the mixture was heated at about 60° C. for about 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature. The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the precipitate was collected, washed with water, and dried to yield 5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (14.4 g, 85%) as a yellow solid: LC/MS (Table 1, Method a) Rt=1.63 min; MS m/z 316 (M−H)−.
