Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5.2 g (16.5 mmol) of 7-bromo-6-cyclopropyl-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine hydrochloride and 6.90 ml (49.5 ml) of triethylamine in 200 ml of dichloromethane at 0° C. are added 2.1 ml (18 mmol) of tert-butyl isocyanate. After stirring for 2 hours, 50 ml of water are added and the product is extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is separated out, washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is chromatographed on a column of 70 g of silica gel, eluting with a mixture of 5 to 50% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane, to give 4.5 g of N2-tert-butyl-7-bromo-6-cyclopropyl-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2,8(1H)-dicarboxamide in the form of a white solid after crystallizing from a minimum amount of ethyl acetate, rinsing with diethyl ether and drying.
