Reaction Steps

Ethyl (2E)-3-(5-chloro-2-Pyrazinyl)acrylate (250 mg, 1.18 mmol) and (5R)-5-amino-1-(benzyloxy)-2-piperidinone (388 mg, 1.86 mmol) were combined in 1,4-dioxane (4 mL) at ambient temperature. To this solution were added palladium(II) acetate (18 mg, 0.8 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl (46 mg, 0.1 mmol) at the same temperature and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. To the resulting mixture was added cesium carbonate (536 mg, 1.86 mmol) and the mixture was heated at 95° C. for 24 hrs. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, washed water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3/methanol=95/1) to give ethyl (2E)-3-(5-{[(3R)-1-(benzyloxy)-6-oxo-3-piperidinyl]amino}-2-pyrazinyl)acrylate (202 mg, 43%) as an amorphous solid.
