Trifluoroacetic acid → 5-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-[(cis)-4-ethoxypyrrolidin-3-yl]-3,6-diethylpyrazin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl (cis)-3-{[5-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,6-diethylpyrazin-2-yl]amino}-4-ethoxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (900 mg) in methylene chloride (16.5 ml) was added palladium dichloride (30 mg) and triethylamine (0.229 ml). Triethyl silane was added (2×0.395 ml) over 2 h. The reaction mixture stirred 1 h and 2 ml of trifluoroacetic acid was added. After 30 min the reaction was basified with 2 N NaOH, extracted methylene chloride (3×100 ml), dried MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. MPLC chromatography was run on a biotage 40S column with 3-5% methanol/methylene chloride with 0.5% ammonium hydroxide to provide the title compound as an oil (501 mg, 74%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ) 7.49, 7.33-7.26, 5.38, 4.54, 4.07, 3.68, 3.52, 3.22, 2.95, 2.71, 2.46, 1.29, 1.15; HRMS (FAB) calcd for C20H26Cl2N4O+H 409.1562, found 409.1567. Anal. Calcd for C20H26Cl2N4O: C, 58.68; H, 6.40; N, 13.69. Found: C, 58.42; H, 6.43; N, 13.50.
