1,2-Dichloroethane → 2-cyclopropyl-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid (2-cyano-1-cyclopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-ethyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask were combined 2-cyclopropyl-5-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid (120 mg, 0.36 mmol), 3-amino-3-cyclopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-propionitrile hydrochloride (75 mg, 0.43 mmol), HOBt (54 mg, 0.40 mmol), and EDC (77 mg, 0.40 mmol). Then added DMF (2 mL) followed by diisopropylethylamine (0.16 mL, 0.90 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight then quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were washed with water (3×) then dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by SiO2 chromatography (30% to 50% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 121 mg (74%) of 2-cyclopropyl-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid (2-cyano-1-cyclopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-ethyl)-amide as an off-white foam.
