Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chloro-2,5-diethylpyrazine (171 mg, 1.0 mmol), (1R,2S)-(+)-cis-1-amino-2-indanol (298 mg, 2.0 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (28 mg, 0.03 mmol), and 2-(di-tertbutylphosphino)biphenyl (18 mg, 0.06 mmol) in toluene (2.0 mL) was purged with nitrogen and treated with sodium tertbutoxide (135 mg, 1.4 mmol). The resulting brown suspension was heated to 100° C. for 2 hours. At this time, the reaction was quenched with a saturated water solution of NaHCO3 and extracted twice with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine (15 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give a black solid. This material was purified by biotage MPLC (40 g column, 25% ethyl acetate/heptane) to afford 184 mg (65%) of the title compound as a light purple solid.
