Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate (5.07 g, 27.2 mmol), 2,6-dichloropyrazine (3.38 g, 22.7 mmol), and K2CO3 (4.09 g, 30.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) was stirred at 65° C. for 12.5 h and for a further 15 h at room temperature. Ether was added and the suspension was filtered. Concentration in vacuo furnished the crude product as an oil that crystallized upon standing. Purification by chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate/n-hexane (6:4) as eluent gave 6.1 g (90%) of the title compound as a solid. HRMS m/z calcd for C13H19ClN4O2 (M)+ 298.1197, found 298.1211. Anal. (C13H19ClN4O2) C, H, N.
