Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,6-dichloropyrazine (4.47 g), cyclobutanamine (3.8 mL) and potassium carbonate (6.20 g) in DMA (30 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 14 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient: 5→15% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (4.42 g, 80%).
