Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

K-t-BuO (2.27 g, 20.3 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 4-(dimethylamino)phenethyl alcohol (3.55 g, 21.5 mmol) in dioxane (35 mL) at 0° C. (ice-bath). After being stirred for 5 min at 0° C. and 12 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 reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 5 min and at room temperature for 20 min and diluted with dichloromethane/ether (1:1). Filtration through a pad of Celite, covered with K2CO3, and concentration in vacuo furnished a yellow oil. This material was purified by chromatography on silica gel (15×5 cm) using n-hexane/ethyl acetate (85:15). A second chromatograhic run on silica gel (14×5 cm) using n-hexane/ethyl acetate (88:12) furnished 3.91 g (80%) of the title compound as a colorless oil. Anal. (C14H16ClN3O) C, H, N.
