Reaction Steps

To rac-2,3-dip-tolyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-yl acetate (Intermediate HF)(70 mg, 0.187 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (3 ml) was added ethyl 7-oxoheptanoate (97 mg, 0.562 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (119 mg, 0.562 mmol) was added. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (5 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred vigorously for 15 minutes. The resulting mixture was extracted with DCM (×3). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was passed through a pre-conditioned Isolute SCX-2 SPE column loading with MeOH and eluting with 1M ammonia in MeOH (20 ml). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the resulting crude was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 0-100% EtOAc/iso-hexane to afford the title compound LC-MS Rt=1.58 mins; [M+H]+ 530.4, Method 2minLC_v003.
