Reaction Steps

K-t-BuO (0.67 g, 5.93 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of the product obtained in step 1 above (0.67 g, 5.93 mmol) in dioxane (20 mL) at 0° C. (ice-bath). After being stirred for 7 min at 0° C. and 5 min at room temperature, the mixture was chilled to 0° C. (ice-bath) and 2,6-dichloropyrazine (2.62 g, 17.6 mmol) was added. The yellowish reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min and at room temperature for 10 min and then diluted with dichloromethane. Drying (K2CO3), filtration, and concentration in vacuo furnished a beige oil. This material was purified by chromatography on silica gel (13×4 cm) using n-hexane/ethyl acetate (80:20). This furnished 1.39 g (94%) of the title compound as an oil that solidified upon standing. HRMS m/z calcd for C14H12ClN3O (M)+ 273.0669, found 273.0671. Anal. (Cl4H12ClN3O) C, H, N.
