Hydrochloric Acid → 3'-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2']bipyrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Deprotect 3′-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-4-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (1.80 g, 4.7 mmol) using 4 M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (38 mL) in DCM (100 mL). Concentrate and dissolve the residue in DCM and 10% aqueous sodium carbonate. Separate the layers and extract the aqueous layer with DCM (2×150 mL). Combine the organic layers, wash with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dry (magnesium sulfate) and concentrate to give the title preparation (1.12 g, 84%). MS (ES): m/z=285 [M+H]+.
