Reaction Steps

4-Phenylbenzaldehyde (0.3 g, 1.65 mmol) and 2-amino-5-bromopyrazine (0.24 g, 1.37 mmol) were treated with Na(OAc)3BH (0.44 g, 2.06 mmol) in dichloroethane (7.0 mls) and acetic acid (0.25 mls) for 18 hours at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with 1.0 N NaOH, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc: Hex, 1:1) gave 0.18 g of N-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl)-5-bromopyrazin-2-amine.
