Reaction Steps

To a solution of (6S)-8-ethyl-10-methoxy-6-methyl-1,9-dioxo-1,2,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazino[1′,2′:1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine-4-carbohydrazide (0.39 g, 1.2 mmol) and methylamine (5.9 mL, 11.8 mmol; 2 M in THF) in anhydrous dichloromethane (25 mL) in a water bath at room temperature, a solution of iodine (0.60 g, 2.4 mmol) in dichloromethane was added dropwise. After the addition was completed, an aqueous solution of sodium sulfite was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 10 minutes. The organic phase was separated, diluted with chloroform, and washed with brine. The organic extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was triturated with a mixture of ethanol (7 mL) and diethyl ether (25 mL). The white solid precipitated was obtained by filtration and dried from its solution in toluene under vacuum.
