Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 375 mg (1.18 mmol) 1-[2-(1-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester and 4.89 g (63.5 mmol) ammonium acetate in 4.15 ml acetic acid is stirred for 28 hours at 110° C. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature and excess water is added. The resulting precipitate is filtered off, washed with water and dried. It is chromatographed on a silica gel column with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate as eluent to give 3-(1-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-methyl-2H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-1-one as light yellow solid; HPLC/MS 2.27 min (B), [M+H] 271;
