Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After dissolving 447 mg of methyl 6-fluoro-3-methoxypyrazine-2-carboxylate in 8 ml of dichloromethane, the solution was cooled to −78° C. Next, 1.76 ml of diisobutylaluminium hydride (1.5 M, toluene solution) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. After adding 10 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid dropwise to the reaction solution, water was added and extraction was performed with dichloromethane. After then drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (245 mg, 65% yield).
