Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-dichloropyrazine (4.00 g, 26.8 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzylamine (7.02 mL, 53.7 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was added K2CO3 (7.42 g, 53.7 mmol) at RT and the reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with cold water (100 mL) and extracted into ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a residue that was purified by CombiFlash (REDISEP®, silica gel, 24 g, 25% EtOAc/petroleum ether) to give 6-chloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)pyrazin-2-amine (5.00 g, 74.6%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 3.31 (s, 3H), 4.37 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 6.87-6.93 (m, 2H), 7.24-7.31 (m, 2H), 7.70 (s, 1H), 7.90 (s, 1H), 7.95 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 1H).
