Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-amino-6-cyclopropylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (1 g, 5.18 mmol, intermediate A-10, step 2) in dibromethane (16.0 ml, 229 mmol) at 0° under an argon atmosphere was added isoamyl nitrite (1.49 ml, 11.1 mmol) and trimethylbromosilane (2.03 ml, 15.7 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0° for 10 min and at r.t overnight. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice, neutralized with solid NaHCO3, extracted with dichloromethane, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The title compound was obtained after silica gel chromatography using a heptane/ethylacetate gradient as viscous oil (450 mg, 34%).
