The mixture was degassed with bubbling argon for 10 min then evacuated and back-filled with argon. It was purged thoroughly with argon for 20 min and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (0.355 g, 0.52 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was cooled to −5° C., TMS-acetylene (1.90 g, 19.16 mmol) was added very slowly and the temperature was slowly increased to 15° C. during 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (30 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3). The combined organic layers were concentrated in vacuo then purified by chromatography (silica, 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 5-bromo-6-chloro-3-trimethylsilanylethynyl-pyrazin-2-ylamine (4.0 g, 75%) as a yellow solid. LC-MS: 304.0 (M+H).
