Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 8-(benzyloxy)-6-bromo-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]-pyrazine-7-carboxylate (1.40 g, 2.79 mmol; Example 1, Step 7), zinc cyanide (0.26 g, 2.23 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (0.51 g, 0.56 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.15 g, 0.56 mmol) in DMF (4.5 mL) was purged with nitrogen for 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. overnight and concentrated under vacuum. The reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and brine. The organic extract was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel eluted with 0-10% methanol in chloroform gradient to provide titled product.
