Sodium hydride → (E)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diethyl 2-cyclohexyl-2-oxoethylphosphonate (0.609 g, 2.32 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.0664 g, 1.66 mmol). After about 30 min, a solution of 5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2-carbaldehyde (0.20 g, 0.64 mmol, Example #10, Step B) in THF (10 mL) was added. After about 2 h, EtOAc (50 mL) and saturated aqueous NH4Cl (50 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with IPA (20 mL) to provide (E)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one as a tan solid (0.20 g, 73%): LC/MS (Table 2, Method a) Rt=3.06 min; MS m/z: 410 (M+H)+.
