Reaction Steps

In a 50 mL round bottom flask, 4-{4-[3-((R)-2-methyl-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-propoxy]-phenyl}-4-oxo-2-pyridin-2-yl-butyric acid ethyl ester (950 mg, 1.84 mmol), and hydrazine monohydrate (204 μL, 4.2 mmol), in acetic acid (20 mL) was heated to reflux 14 h. The reaction was cooled and the solvent concentrated under vacuum. The slurry was partitioned between methylene chloride and NaHCO3 sol., extracted three times, and then dried over MgSO4. Purification with silica gel chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (95:5) produced 250 mg (33%). Ethereal HCl was added to a methanol solution to produce crystals. Mp 231-233° C. MS m/z 393 (M+H).
