Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of phenyl acetic acid (95.0 mg, 0.698 mmol) in NMP (6 ml) was added a solution 3-amino-6-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazine-2-carbohydrazide (step 1) (250 mg, 0.837 mmol) in NMP (6 ml) followed by DIPEA (609 ul, 3.49 mmol). The resulting mixture was treated with HATU (398 mg, 1.047 mmol) portionwise and stirred at RT for 90 min. The mixture was added to EtOAc (50 ml) and washed with 0.1M NaOH (50 ml). The aqueous layer was back extracted with EtOAc (50 ml). The combined organic portions were washed with water (50 ml), brine (50 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 1:1 EtOAc/iso-hexane to afford the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.65 (1H, s), 10.29 (1H, s), 8.02 (2H, s), 7.30 (5H, m), 3.52 (2H, s). 19F NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ-66 (s, CF3).
