Lithium Hydroxide → 2-(1-Methyl-6-oxopyrido[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-5(6H)-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-(1-methyl-6-oxopyrido[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-5(6H)-yl)acetate (517 mg, 1.91 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of MeOH/H2O/THF (1:1:4). LiOH (68.5 mg, 2.86 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvents were removed and residue was dissolved in water, washed with ether, then neutralized with 2N HCl to pH=3. 356 mg (73%) white solid was obtained after filtration and dried under vacuum. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.90 (s, 1H), 8.27-8.17 (m, 2H), 7.29-7.19 (m, 2H), 6.80 (dd, J=2.9, 3.9 Hz, 1H), 5.02 (s, 2H), 2.85 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO, APT) δ 169.8, 154.5, 143.1, 141.4, 135.9, 123.9, 123.3, 122.8, 119.5, 113.3, 112.7, 41.6, 22.2.
