Sodium Iodide → 6-[2-(4-Cyclobutylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine (70 mg, 0.518 mmol), NaI (50 mg, 0.333 mmol), and K2CO3 (200 mg, 1.45 mmol) in acetonitrile is added 2-chloro-1-(4-cyclobutyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethanone (112 mg, 0.518 mmol). The mixture is stirred overnight at rt, diluted with DCM (20 mL) and filtered through Celite. The filtrate is evaporated and the crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with EtOAc/MeOH/NEt3 (95:5:5) to yield the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.35 (2H, dd), 3.85 (2H, s), 3.70-3.66 (m, 4H), 3.46 (2H, s), 3.09 (2H, t), 2.96 (2H, t), 2.75 (1H, m), 2.37-2.34 (4H, m), 2.09-1.67 (m, 6H); MS (+VE) m/z 316.21 (M++1).
