Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-5-(2,2-difluoro-ethyl)-6H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (192 mg, 0.749 mmol) in THF (3.8 ml) was added a solution of 1M LiOH (0.824 ml, 0.824 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 20 h. At 0° C. 1M HCl (0.749 ml) was added and the mixture diluted with toluene (7.5 ml). The solvents were evaporated to provide the title compound together with LiCl as brown powder. This material was used for coupling reactions without further purification.
