Citric Acid → 5-bromo-6-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid ((1R,2R)-2-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a yellow suspension of 1.50 g 5-bromo-6-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid in 11 ml dichloromethane was added drop wise 0.608 g 1-chloro-N,N, 2-trimethylpropenylamine and the resulting the yellow solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The resulting orange solution was added dropwise to a cooled (ice bath) solution of 0.522 g (1R,2R)-2-amino-cyclohexanol and 0.7868 g ethyldiisopropylamine in 10 ml ethyl acetate. This red solution was stirred at room temperature for 90 min. To the red solution was added 30 ml 10% aqueous citric acid solution. The layers were separated and the organic layer was purified by chromatography on silica gel with a gradient of heptane: ethyl acetate=1:1 to ethyl acetate to yield 1.56 g of the title compound as yellow crystals. MS (M−H) at 479.0 and 476.0.
