Triethylamine → N-{3-isobutyl-4-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]phenyl}-3-methyl-pyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (138 mg, 1 mmol), 3-isobutyl-4-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]aniline (299 mg, 1 mmol), 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide (255 mg, 1 mmol) and triethylamine (303 mg, 3 mmol) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and refluxed under heating for 3 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, followed by washing with water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate anhydride, and concentrated under reduced pressure, and then the residue was purified by using silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to obtain 290 mg of the desired compound.
