3-Aminopyridine → 5-Bromo-1-methyl-3-(pyridin-3-ylamino)pyrazin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser was charged with pyridin-3-amine (940 mg, 10 mmol), 3,5-dibromo-1-methylpyrazin-2(1H)-one (5.4 g, 20 mmol), i-propanol (50 mL), and di-i-propylethylamine (10 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux for 5 h. After the completion of the reaction, it was cooled to room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with 30:1 dichloromethane/methanol to afford 186a (1.4 g, 50%) as a yellow solid. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 281.6.
