Reaction Steps

t-Butyllithium (20 ml of a 1.7M solution in pentane, 35.3 mmol) was added dropwise to a rapidly stirred solution of 2-methoxy-6-iodopyrazine (4.17 g, 17.6 mmol) in ether (80 ml), at -40° C. After 0.25 h a solution of quinuclidinone (2.21 g, 17.6 mmol) in ether (60 ml) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. Water (35 ml) was added and extracted with ethylacetate (4×100 ml). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), the solvent removed under vacuum and, the residue chromatographed through alumina, eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (93:7) to give 3-[2-(6-methoxypyrazin)yl]-1-azabicyclo [2.2.2]octan-3-ol (1.65 g); δ (360 MHz, CDCl3) 1.37-1.51 (3H,m, --CH2 and CH of CH2); 1.70-1.90(1H, brs, OH); 1.94-1.96-(1H,m,CH); 2.20-2.32(1H,m,CH of CH2); 2.80-3.10(5H,m,2×CH2 and CH of CH2) 3.74(1H,dd, J=2 and 14.6 Hz, CH of CH2); 3.99(3H,s,Me); 8.15(1H,s,pyrazine-H); 8.39(1H,s,pyrazine-H).
