Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-((2R,4R)-2-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyrazin-2-amine (40 mg, 0.207 mmol) in acetonitrile (3 mL) was added NBS (35.0 mg, 0.197 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min. After quenched with NaHCO3, the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc three times. The organic layers were combined and washed with water, and brine. Dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford 47 mg of 3-bromo-5-((2R,4R)-2-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyrazin-2-amine, which was used as it was. LCMS (m/z): 274 (MH+), 0.64 min. For 5-((2S,4S)-2-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyrazin-2-amine, following the above method, 3-bromo-5-((2S,4S)-2-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyrazin-2-amine was obtained. LCMS (m/z): 274 (MH+), 0.65 min. The absolute stereochemistry of the products were assigned arbitrarily.
