Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(3,5-dichloro-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrazinyl)-4-methyl-benzoic acid, methyl ester (Example 107a, 200 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was added N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (90 μL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. Cyclopropylamine (220 μL) was added followed by the addition of iso-propylmagnesium chloride (2M in tetrahydrofuran, 1 mL) portionwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 60 minutes and iso-propylmagnesium chloride (2M in tetrahydrofuran, 1 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred for an additional 30 minutes and sat. aqueous NH4Cl was added. The aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The pooled organic was washed with brine and dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed. Purification by preparative HPLC (Gemini column, 0.1% ammonia:acetonitrile eluent) gave the title compound (149 mg).
