Diisopropylethylamine → N-((3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methyl)-1-methylpiperidine-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-aminomethyl-3-chloropyrazine hydrochloride (content 70%; 7.85 mmol, 1.7 g) in N,N-diisopropylethylamine (39.3 mmol, 6.84 ml) and dichloromethane (30 ml) at 0° C. was added carefully 1-methylpiperidine-4-carbonyl chloride hydrochloride (9.42 mmol, 2.2 g). Then the cooling bath was removed. After two hours saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution (40 mL) was added and extracted five times with dichloromethane (30 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried and concentrated and co-evaporated twice with toluene to give N-((3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methyl)-1-methylpiperidine-4-carboxamide (1.75 g)
