Triethylamine → 5-bromo-3-(6-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyrazin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-amino-6-bromo-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (2.5 g, 11.47 mmol), 4-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine (1.401 g, 11.47 mmol), diethoxyphosphoryl-formonitrile (2.058 g, 1.871 mL, 12.62 mmol) and triethylamine (2.321 g, 3.197 mL, 22.94 mmol) was heated in DME (75.00 mL) at 170° C. in the microwave for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, filtered and washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to a brown solid. The mixture was slurried in DCM and treated with diethyl ether/petroleum ether. The resultant solid was washed with ether and dried to afford the product as an orange/brown solid (1.6 g, 46% Yield). MS (ES+) 305.
