A solution of 21.9 g (63 mmole) of 4-[6-(acetylcyclopropylamino)-3-fluoro-2-pyridinyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester, 170 ml of 15% hydrochloric acid and 235 ml of methanol was refluxed for one hour and allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 hours. The methanol was removed in vacuo and the aqueous acid was made basic with 1.0N sodium hydroxide to pH 10.5. The mixture was extracted with chloroform, the chloroform layer washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to give 17.6 g of the title compound, mp 68°-70° C.
