Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-trifluoromethylpyrazine-3-carboxylic acid (0.25 g, 1.3 mmol), [2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylethyl]amine (0.27 g, 1.3 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.19 g, 1.6 mmol) in chloroform (10 ml) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.3 g, 1.6 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. After adding water and chloroform, the mixture was partitioned, and the organic layer was washed successively with water and saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give a desired compound (yield; 0.31 g, 63%).
