Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(3,5-dibromo-2-oxo-2H-pyrazin-1-yl)-4-methyl-benzoic acid, methyl ester (Example 1b, 0.1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) in a microwave vial was added triethylamine (250 μL) and 2-[(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]-benzenemethanamine (90 mg). The reaction was stirred overnight before the addition of O-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (83 mg) and cyclopentylmagnesium bromide (2M in diethyl ether, 2 mL) dropwise. After stirring for 60 minutes, ethanol (2 mL) was added followed by the addition of ammonium formate (0.4 g) and 10% palladium on carbon (40 mg). The reaction mixture was heated within a microwave for 30 minutes at 100° C. before being cooled to room temperature, filtered and washed with ethanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Purification by preparative HPLC (Gemini column, 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid:acetonitrile eluent) afforded the title compound (13 mg).
