Reaction Steps

(R)-7-[3-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-4-(2,4,5-trifluoro-phenyl)-butyryl]-3-trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-1-carboxylic acid (1-cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxy)-ethyl ester 38a (0.25 g, 0.347 mmol) and 5 mL of ethyl acetate were added into the reaction flask. A solution of 6.5 N hydrochloric acid in 3 mL of ethyl acetate was added to the flask under stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and monitored by thin layer chromatography until the disappearance of the starting materials. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound (R)-7-[3-amino-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-butyryl]-3-trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-1-carboxylic acid (1-cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxy)-ethyl ester hydrochloride 38 (0.22 g, yield 96.1%) as a white solid.
