Triethylamine → N-{3-isobutyl-4-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]phenyl}-3-trifluoromethylpyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazine carboxylic acid (192 mg, 1 mmol), 3-isobutyl-4-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]aniline (199 mg, 1 mmol), 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide (255 mg, 1 mmol) and triethylamine (303 mg, 3 mmol) were dissolved in THF (10 ml) and refluxed under heating for 2 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, followed by washing with water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate anhydride, and concentrated under reduced pressure, and then the solution was purified by using silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to obtain 293 mg of the desired compound as paste state.
