Diisopropylamine → HCID 22451777, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of diisopropylamine (4.0 mL, 28.5 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was treated with 2.5M n-butyllithium (11.42 mL, 28.5 mmol) at −78° C. The mixture was warmed to RT for 0.5 h, cooled to −78° C., and 2-methylpyrazine (2.0 mL, 21.9 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was warmed to RT, stirred for 1 h, cooled to −78° C., and butyl bromoacetate (4.25 mL, 26.3 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was warmed to RT, stirred for 18 h and quenched with water (1 mL). The mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 60% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (3.06 g, 67%) as a light yellow oil. MS(ES) m/e 209 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (250 MHz) δ8.37-8.57 (m, 3H), 3.10 (t, 2H), 2.74 (t, 2H), 1.43 (s, 9H).
