Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3′-chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.00 g, 3.26 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (15 mL). Add potassium carbonate (1.29 g, 9.36 mmol), 4-methoxymethylbenzeneboronic acid (649 mg, 3.90 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.0225 g, 0.034 mmol), then water (5 mL) and degas with nitrogen for 30 min. Heat at 110° C. for 18 hr. under nitrogen. Cool to room temperature, add water (20 mL) and extract with DCM (3×20 mL). Combine the DCM extracts and pass through an IST Phase Separator Frit® and concentrate. Purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 20:80 ethyl acetate:isohexane), to give 3′-(4-methoxymethyl-phenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow oil (1.32 g, 105%). MS (ES): m/z=385 [M+H]+.
