Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → (R)-1-[4-(3-Benzothiazol-2-yl-5,6-dihydro-8H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-1-[4-(3-benzothiazol-2-yl-5,6-dihydro-8H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-ethyl butyrate (prepared according to the method of Example 259, Step D, 220 mg, 0.49 mmol) in a 3:1:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran/methanol/water (5 mL) was added lithium hydroxide hydrate (62 mg, 1.47 mmol). This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h, concentrated, and extracted with chloroform (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, evaporated, and purified by flash column chromatography (5% methanol/chloroform) to give 192 mg (100%) of the title compound as a colorless solid. mp: 216.5-218.5° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 8.37 (d, 1H), 8.06 (d, 1H), 7.97 (d, 1H), 7.56-7.45 (c, 2H), 6.56 (d, 1H), 5.11 (s, 2H), 4.83 (t, 2H), 4.77 (m, 1H), 4.35-4.25 (c, 2H), 4.16 (s, 1H), 1.54 (d, 3H); MS (APCI) 380 (MH+), [α]D +14.2 (c 1.0, CHCl3).
