Reaction Steps

3-Methylenecyclobutanecarboxylic acid [(3-benzyloxyphenyl)-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methyl]amide: To a suspension of C-(3-benzyloxyphenyl)-C-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methylamine hydrochloride (724 mg, 2.0 mol) in methylene dichloride (10 mL) was added iPr2NEt (1.7 mL, 10.0 mmol), at which time the solid dissolved. The reaction was charged with 3-methylenecyclobutanecarboxylic acid (560 mg, 5.0 mmol), EDC (1.15 g, 6.0 mmol) and HOBt (270 mg, 2.0 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (2×20 mL) and brine (2×20 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting with hexanes:EtOAc=80:20→60:40), yielding the title product as a light-yellow viscous oil; MS (ES, Pos.): m/z 420/422 (3/1) [MH+]; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 2.85-3.09 (m, 5H), 4.78 (m, 2H), 5.03 (s, 2H), 6.55 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 6.87-6.95 (m, 3H), 7.08 (br d, 1H, NH), 7.21-7.41 (m, 6H), 8.33 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 8.49 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H).
