Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine (1.90 g) in DMF (10 mL) was added K2CO3 (2.35 g) and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (1.70 mL) at rt. The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 h, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed with a silica gel column (eluting agent: 30:1 (v/v) DCM/MeOH) to give the title compound as transparent liquid (0.68 g, 30.00%).
