Diisopropylethylamine → 5-chloro-N-[(1R)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethyl]pyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (1.3 mL, 7.5 mmol) was added to a mixture of 5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (0.40 g, 2.5 mmol) (Matrix, Cat. #: 054028), N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)uronium hexafluorophosphate (1.0 g, 2.8 mmol) and (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-amine hydrochloride (0.38 g, 2.5 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was worked up with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate in hexanes (0-20%) to afford the desired product (0.64 g, 76%). LCMS (M+H)+: m/z, =253.9/255.9.
