4-Hydroxybenzylamine → 4-{[(3-Amino-6-bromopyrazin-2-yl)amino]methyl}phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3,5-dibromo-pyrazin-2-ylamine (220 mg, 0.87 mmol) and 4-aminomethyl-phenol (225.0 mg, 1.83 mmol) in DMSO (2.5 mL) was heated at 98° C. under nitrogen for 24 hours. HPLC showed that 35% of product was formed and 40% of starting material presented. The reaction solution was partitioned between EtOAc and water. After condensation of organic layer, the residue was purified on a silica gel column eluting with 3% methanol in dichloromethane to provide 4-[(3-amino-6-bromo-pyrazin-2-ylamino)-methyl]-phenol (30 mg) as a yellow solid.
