Reaction Steps

A THF solution (1.00 L) of trans-methyl 4-(8-chloroimidazo[1,5-a]pyrazin-3-yl)cyclohexanecarboxylate(29.70 g, 101.1 mmol) was cooled to −78° C. and was charged with LAH (1M in THF, 25.3 mmol, 25.3 mL) dropwise. After 30 min., the reaction mixture was charged with additional LAH (25.3 mmol) at −78° C. and then, allowed to stir at −78° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction was slowly warmed up to rt and stirred for additional 30 min. Ethyl acetate, Na2SO4.10H2O, and silica gel were added to the reaction mixture and concentrated in vacuo to give an orange solid. The crude mixture was purified by a silica gel glass column chromatography (eluted with 2:3 EtOAc/DCM to 100% EtOAc) to obtain the title compound as a slightly yellow-tinted white solid; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 1.14-1.30 (m, 2H), 1.61-1.75 (mc, 1H), 1.84 (ddd, J=13.2, 13.2, 13.2, 3.2 Hz, 2H), 1.98-2.13 (m, 4H), 2.19 (s, br, —OH), 2.94 (tt, J=11.6, 3.2 Hz, 1H), 3.56 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (d, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 7.64 (dd, J=5.2, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H); MS (ES+): m/z 266.21/268.17 (100/89) [MH+]. HPLC: tR=2.38 min (OpenLynx, polar13 5 min). MS (ES+): m/z 266.21 (100) [MH+], 268.17 (80) [MH+2}, 289.18 (20) [MH+3]; tR(polar-5 min/openlynx) 2.36 min.
