Reaction Steps

In analogy to the procedure described in example 12 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione and 2-aminomalonamide were heated in an aqueous solution to give 5-methyl-3-oxo-6-phenyl-3,4 -dihydro-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid amide. Then, the 5-methyl-3-oxo-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid amide was treated with triethylamine and phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxychloride at reflux to give the 3-chloro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-pyrazine-2-carbonitrile. The 3-chloro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-pyrazine-2-carbonitrile was finally treated with 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine hydrochloride (J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1971, 8(5), 779-83) and N-ethyldiisopropylamine in N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature to yield the 5-methyl-6-phenyl-3-(1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-3-yl)-pyrazine-2-carbonitrile as yellow amorphous solid; MS: 341 (M+H)+.
