Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-nitro-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine 124d (160 mg, 0.952 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added triethylamine (197 mg, 1.90 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 5 minutes, a solution of isobutyryl chloride (111.0 mg, 1.047 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. Analysis of the reaction mixture by LCMS showed complete conversion to the desired product. It was then concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 148a as a white solid (220 mg, 97%), which was used in the next step without further purification. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 239.0
