Hydrochloric Acid → (2E)-3-(5-{[(3R)-1-cyclohexyl-3-piperidinyl]amino}-2-pyrazinyl)acrylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of mixture of ethyl (2E)-3-(5-{[(3R)-1-cyclohexyl-3-piperidinyl]amino}-2-pyrazinyl)acrylate (227 mg) in EtOH (2 mL) was added 1N sodium hydroxide solution (1.3 mL) at ambient temperature and the mixture was allowed to stand for 18 hrs. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 6.0 with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of chloroform and MeOH (5-1) and the precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give (2E)-3-(5-{[(3R)-1-cyclohexyl-3-piperidinyl]amino}-2-pyrazinyl)acrylic acid (209 mg) as a solid.
