Reaction Steps

A solution of Ph3P (0.07 g, 0.267 mmol) in THF (1.7 mL) was cooled to 0° C. under N2 and DEAD (0.076 ml, 0.481 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 10 min, then 6-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one (0.072 g, 0.444 mmol) was added. After stirring for 5 min, a solution of (5-((3,4-dichlorophenyl)amino)pyrazin-2-yl)methanol (0.1 g, 0.370 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was concentrated and partially purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 30-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes, then 5-10% methanol in ethyl acetate. The desired fractions were concentrated to a solid, which was redissolved in DMF. Water was added to the vigorously stirred solution until a suspension formed. After stirring 18 h, the off-white solid was filtered, washed with methanol, and dried to yield 6-((5-(3,4-dichlorophenylamino)pyrazin-2-yl)methoxy)quinolin-2(1H)-one (0.02 g, 13%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 11.67 (1H, s), 9.97 (1H, s), 8.40 (1H, d, J=1.00 Hz), 8.28 (1H, d, J=1.51 Hz), 8.20 (1H, d, J=2.26 Hz), 7.86 (1H, d, J=9.79 Hz), 7.49-7.64 (2H, m), 7.37 (1H, s), 7.17-7.32 (2H, m), 6.51 (1H, dd, J=9.54, 2.01 Hz), 5.12 (2H, s).
