Reaction Steps

Into a 5 mL microwave vial was combined 5-(bromomethyl)-3-(3-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2-ethoxypyrazine (Intermediate 1, 176.00 mg, 0.49 mmol), 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile (124.55 mg, 0.54 mmol), EtOH (2.45 mL), benzene (7.00 mL), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (56.63 mg, 0.05 mmol), and sodium bicarbonate (1.38 mL, 1.15 mol/L; 1.59 mmol). The vial was sealed, purged with nitrogen and heated to 125° C. under microwave conditions for 15 minutes. Water was removed from the reaction with a pipette, and the crude reaction mixture was filtered thru CELITE®, and washed with EtOAc (3×5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Purification (FCC, SiO2, 0-30%, EtOAc/hexanes) afforded the title compound as a white solid (100 mg, 53%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.94 (s, 2H), 8.17 (s, 1H), 7.95-7.90 (m, 1H), 7.85 (t, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (t, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (dd, J=2.3, 7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.04-6.61 (m, 1H), 4.49 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 4.30-4.25 (m, 2H), 1.44 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H). [M+H]=384.15.
