Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-chloro-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxylate (300 mg, 1.29 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL dry DMF. To it was added 3-amino-5-fluoropyridine (728 mg, 6.50 mmol) and then DIEA (0.45 mL, 2.60 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1.5 h. To the mixture were poured 200 mL EtOAc. The mixture was washed with brine twice and water twice, dried in MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo to afford crude ethyl 5-((5-fluoropyridin-3-yl)amino)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxylate. It was stirred in 30 mL “7.0 N ammonia in methanol” (Acros, #133710010) as a slurry for overnight. The solid was isolated by filtration, washed with hexane and dried in vacuum oven. It was very pure 5-((5-fluoropyridin-3-yl)amino)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxamide. Yield was 189 mg (52% for 2 steps).
