Reaction Steps

N-Cyclopropyl-3-(3-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-ylamino)-2-oxopyrazin-1(2H)-yl)-4-methylbenzamide (Example 134, 0.172 g), potassium carbonate (0.114 g) and tert-butyl 4-(bromomethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.114 g) were stirred together in acetonitrile (10 mL) at reflux overnight. The cooled reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate (20 mL) and water (20 mL). The separated aqueous layer was further extracted into ethyl acetate (2×20 mL), the combined organics were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 mL) and treated with trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml), after stirring at room temperature for 1 h, the solvent was evaporated to leave the crude product. Purification by preparative HPLC (Gemini column—acetonitrile/0.2% ammonia mobile phase) afforded the title compound as a solid (50 mg).
