Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl (2E)-3-(5-chloro-2-pyrazinyl)acrylate (300 mg, 1.41 mmol), (3R)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-pyrrolidinamine dihydrochloride (565 mg, 2.11 mmol) and triethylamine (928 mg, 9.17 mmol) was stirred at 100° C. for 6 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 (35% EtOAc/hexane-50% EtOAc/hexane) to give ethyl (2E)-3-(5-{[(3R)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-2-pyrazinyl)acrylate (245 mg, 47%) as an oil.
