Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(5-Bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-8-ylamino)-benzoic acid methyl ester (460 mg, 1.32 mmol) is suspended in THF (1 mL) and a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (554 mg, 13.2 mmol) in water (11 mL) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours then methanol (11 mL) is added and the mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 24 hours. The mixture is partitioned between water and DCM, the aqueous phase is acidified with 2M HCl (pH 2) and a yellow precipitate is formed. The precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with water and diethyl ether and dried to afford the title compound (215 mg, 49%).
