Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloropyrazine (0.230 ml, 2.62 mmol), 4-(hydroxymethyl)phenylboronic acid (517 mg, 3.41 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (303 mg, 0.262 mmol) and 2 M potassium phosphate aqueous solution (2.62 ml, 5.24 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) was heated at 80° C. overnight under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled down, poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (350 mg) as an off-white solid. LCMS m/z=187.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.79 (s, 2H), 7.52 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 8.02 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 8.51 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 8.63 (dd, J=2.4 and 1.6 Hz, 1H), 9.03 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H).
