Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of pyrazin-2-amine (4.30 g, 45.2 mmol) in 50 mL of THF was added isopropylmagnesium chloride (16.96 mL, 33.9 mmol) dropwise under nitrogen atmosphere. A solid precipitated from the solution. After 15 min, a solution of (S)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4,4-difluoropyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate 116A (3 g, 11.31 mmol) in 50 mL of THF was added and stirred for 2 hr. The solvent was evaporated to dryness at the reduced pressure. The residue was suspended in ethyl acetate, washed with water, brined and dried. Evaporation of the solvent furnished a solid, which was chromatographed (20% ethyl acetate, CH2Cl2) to give 116B. LC/MS [M+H]+: 329; Ret time (Method F): 2.42 min.
