Potassium Carbonate → HCID 90415200, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(bromomethyl)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-methoxypyrazine (Intermediate 3, 200.00 mg, 0.64 mmol), in acetone (3.19 mL), was added methyl 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate (121.60 mg, 0.96 mmol) and potassium carbonate (264.44 mg, 1.91 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The LCMS showed two peaks with [M+H] values consistent with the two major regioproducts. The mixture was diluted with DCM (5 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification (FCC, SiO2, 20-100% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded the title compound (100 mg; 44%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.79 (s, 1H), 8.26 (s, 1H), 8.01 (td, J=1.1, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.99-7.90 (m, 1H), 7.45-7.36 (m, 2H), 5.64 (s, 2H), 4.07 (s, 3H), 3.92 (s, 3H). [M+H]=360.24.
