Cesium carbonate → 6-Ethyl-3-({4-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}amino)-5-(3-nitrophenoxy)pyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, a mixture of 3-chloro-6-ethyl-5-(3-nitrophenoxy)pyrazine-2-carboxamide (50 mg), 4-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]aniline (48 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (14 mg), dicyclohexyl(2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (30 mg), cesium carbonate (101 mg), and dioxane (2 mL) was heated and refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and then diluted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with water and saturated brine. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; ethyl acetate:methanol:28% aqueous ammonia=95:4.5:0.5-90:9:1, chloroform: methanol=1:0-9:1) to obtain 6-ethyl-3-({4-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}amino)-5-(3-nitrophenoxy)pyrazine-2-carboxamide (14 mg) as a yellow oily substance.
