Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloromethyl-3-methoxy-5-phenyl-pyrazine (70 mg, 0.30 mmol), 2-fluoro-6-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyridine (48 mg, 0.294 mmol) and K2CO3 (123 mg, 0.9 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) is stirred at 45° C. for 16 hours. On cooling, the reaction is quenched with saturated NH4Cl (2 mL) and extracted with DCM (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers are dried and solvent removed. PTLC separation (10% MeOH in DCM) gives 91 mg of 2-[2-(6-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-imidazol-1-ylmethyl]-3-methoxy-5-phenyl-pyrazine as an oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 8.41 (s, 1H), 8.08 (dd, 1H), 7.95–7.99 (m, 2H), 7.80 (dd, 1H), 7.42–7.49 (m, 3H), 7.22 (s, 1H), 7.15 (s, 1H), 6.77 (dd, 1H), 5.98 (s, 2H), 4.08 (s, 3H). B. 3-Methoxy-5-phenyl-2-(2-thiazol-2-yl-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-pyrazine (Compound 2) 1. Synthesis of 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-thiazole
