Reaktionsschritte

A solution of benzene-1,2-diamine (1.5 g, 14 mmol), triethyl orthoformate (5.7 mL, 37 mmol), and benzenesulfonic acid (0.075 g, 0.47 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was heated to reflux for 4 h and then slowly distilled to remove half of the solvent. The mixture was then cooled to RT and neutralized with diisopropyl amine, followed by addition of a solution of ethyl 4-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yloxy)benzoate (4.3 g, 15 mmol) in THF (15 mL). The mixture was cooled to −78° C. and 1.2 equiv of LDA (9.2 mL, 17 mmol) was added. After aging at −78° C. for 1.5 h, the mixture was warmed to RT after 1.5 h and then 2N HCl was added and the mixture was agitated for 30 min. Following that, the mixture was adjusted to pH 9 with 1N NaOH. Ethyl acetate was added and the layers were separated, the aqueous was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×), and the combined organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Upon treatment with MeOH, a yellow solid crashed out which was filtered and collected to give (1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)(4-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yloxy)phenyl)methanone.
