Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-amino-6-bromo-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (10 g, 45.87 mmol), benzene-1,2-diamine (5.45 g, 50.46 mmol), diethoxyphosphorylformonitrile (8.23 g, 50.46 mmol) and triethylamine (12.79 mL, 91.74 mmol) in DME (30 mL) was heated in the microwave at 170° C. for 40 minutes. The mixture was allowed to cool and water was added. The resultant dark-coloured precipitate was dissolved in EtOAc and stirred with charcoal for 30 minutes. After filtering through celite, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the product as a yellow solid (8.04 g, 60% Yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) 7.22-7.32 (2H, m), 7.55 (1H, d), 7.75 (1H, d), 7.8 (1h, br s), 8.8 (1H, br s), 13.1 (1H, s); MS (ES+) 291
