Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,7-Bis-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-5-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine (200 mg, 0.412 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was added a solution of NaOH (66 mg, 1.65 mmol) in water (200 μL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3.5 hours before the solvents were removed. The resulting yellow residue was then purified by flash silica gel chromatography using a gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford 2,7-Bis-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine (43 mg, 32% yield) as a pale yellow solid. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ12.21 (s br, 1H), 8.80 (dd, 6.0 Hz, 1.75 Hz, 1H), 8.69 (s, 1H), 7.76 (dd, 6.0 Hz, 1.75 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (dt, 7.5 Hz, 1.75 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (m, 2H), 7.13 (m, 2H), 7.04 (t, 7.3 Hz, 1H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 3.85 (s, 3H). MS: m/z 332.1 [MH+].
