Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of ethyl (2E)-3-(5-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinyl](tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino}-2-pyrazinyl)acrylate (4.63 g) in dichloromethane (7.8 ml) were added anisole (4.7 ml) and trifluoroacetic acid (15.6 ml), the mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 3.5 hours. The mixed solution was poured into a mixture of water and AcOEt. The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to ca.8 with NaHCO3. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude powder.
