Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-chloropyrazin-2-amine (5 g, 38.6 mmol) in DME (160 mL) and aq. 2 M sodium carbonate (40 mL, 80 mmol) was added methyl 2-fluoro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (12.97 g, 46.3 mmol) followed by PdCl2(dppf)-CH2Cl2 adduct (3.15 g, 3.86 mmol). The reaction mixture was purged with N2 and heated in an oil bath at 100° C. for 3-4 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethylacetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude was triturated with DCM. Solid observed was filtered, washed with ether and dried under reduced pressure to provide product as an off white solid. Filtrate was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 0-50-80% EtOAc/heptane to provide 10.6 g of product in 93% yield. LCMS (m/z): 248.1 (MH+), 0.563 min.
