5-Bromo-3-chloro-pyrazin-2-ylamine (0.600 g, 2.88 mmol), 2-methyl-5-(N-morpholinylsulfonyl)phenylboronic acid (0.821 g, 2.88 mmol), 1,1′BIS(Diphenylphosphino-ferrocene)dichloropalladium (II) complex with DCM (0.118 g, 0.14 mmol), 2N Na2CO3 (aq.) (5 ml) and DME (15 ml) are stirred together at 100° C. for 1 hour. Product is purified by reverse phase chromatography and evaporation of the clean fractions yields a cream solid. The solid is dissolved in DCM (100 ml) and washed with 2N NaOH (aq.) (50 ml). The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and the solvent evaporated to yield an orange semi-solid. This is dissolved ethyl acetate (10 ml) and iso-hexane is added. A precipitate forms and is filtered off to yield the title compound as an off white solid. [M+H]+ 410.
