Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.922 g) was added to a suspension of 3-bromo-5-methylpyrazin-2-amine (5 g), 4-(cyclohexyloxy)phenylboronic acid (7.61 g) and sodium carbonate decahydrate (15.2 g) in DME (200 mL) and water (40 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. under nitrogen overnight. The insoluble material was removed by filtration (eluted with EtOAc), and silica-gel was added and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The mixture supported on silica-gel was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluted with EtOAc in hexane) to give the title compound (7.5 g) as a pale orange solid.
