Procedure

To a solution of 5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2-carbaldehyde (37.6 g, 125 mmol) in EtOH (500 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (500 mL) was added NaBH4 (4.72 g, 125 mmol) in one portion. After about 3 h, aqueous HCl (1N, 400 mL) was slowly added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was concentrated to one-half the original volume under reduced pressure and EtOAc (1000 mL) and water (500 mL) were added to the mixture. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (500 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide (5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-yl)methanol (35.9 g, 95% yield) as a tan solid: LC/MS (Table 2, Method a) Rt=1.97 min; MS m/z: 304 (M+H)+.
