Acetyl chloride → N-(3-(5-cyanopyrazin-2-ylamino)isoquinolin-8-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (13 mg, 0.16 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-(8-aminoisoquinolin-3-ylamino)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile (36 mg, 0.14 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (39 mg, 0.30 mmol) in DCE (1.5 mL). The reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 16 hours and another portion of acetyl chloride (6.5 mg, 0.08 mmol) was added. Stirring was continued for a further 24 hours. The reaction mixture was washed once with water and the organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to dryness. Preparative HPLC gave N-(3-(5-cyanopyrazin-2-ylamino)isoquinolin-8-yl)acetamide (13.4 mg, 0.044 mmol, 32%). 1H NMR (d6-DMSO, 400 MHz) δ 11.05 (br s, 1H), 10.20 (s, 1H), 9.36 (s, 1H), 8.82 (d, 1H, J=1.2 Hz), 8.72 (d, 1H, J=1.2 Hz), 8.48 (s, 1H), 7.65-7.75 (m, 3H), 2.22 (s, 3H). LC-MS (2) Rt=1.96 min; m/z (ESI+) 305 (M+H).
