Triethylamine → 5-Chloro-3-(triethyl-silanylethynyl)-pyrazin-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 250 ml round bottom flask was charged with 3-bromo-5-chloro-pyrazin-2-ylamine (2) (1 g, 4.8 mmol), THF (10 ml), copper iodide (9 mg, 0.05 mM) and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (34 mg, 0.05 mmol) under nitrogen. To the reaction mixture, triethylamine (2 ml, 14.4 mmol) and triethylsilylacetylene (1 ml, 5.76 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h, then concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography, using as eluent pentane/EtOAc 10% to 30%, to give the title compound as an off white solid (1.2 g, 100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 0.7-0.8 (6H, qd), 1.0-1.1 (9H, t), 5.0-5.1 (2H, brs), 7.95 (1H, s). MS (ES+): 268.
