Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,6-dichloropyrazine (2.0 g, 13.4 mmol), 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxamide (2.0 g, 12.3 mmol) and cesium carbonate (5.6 g, 17.2 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 3 h. The solution was cooled to RT and diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and filtered. The solid material was washed with chloroform-methanol (20 mL, 4:1) and the combined filtrates concentrated in vacuo. The residue thus obtained (3.02 g) was used without further purification.
