Reaction Steps

Aniline (11.25 g, 121 mmol), dichloropyrazine (20 g, 134 mmol), sodium t-butoxide (15.48 g, 161 mmol) were stirred in toluene (300 mL) under nitrogen purging for 15 minutes. Pd2(dba)3 (1.23 g, 1.34 mmol) and BINAP (3.34 g, 5.47 mmol) were added. The reaction was heated to 90° C. for 5 h. After it cooled to room temperature, the reaction was filtered through Celite®. After solvent evaporation, the residue was purified with column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes as solvent to give 3-chloro-N-phenylpyrazin-2-amine (4.5 g, 16.3% yield).
