Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A glass microwave reaction vessel was charged with 2,6-dichloropyrazine (1.0 g, 6.71 mmol) and cyclopropanamine (0.383 g, 6.71 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) followed by cesium carbonate (2.187 g, 6.71 mmol). The reaction was stirred and heated in an oil bath at 100° C. for 15 h, then cooled to RT. The mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with H2O. The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified with silica gel chromatography (eluting with 5-10% EtOAc in Hex) to give 6-chloro-N-cyclopropylpyrazin-2-amine (0.87 g, 5.13 mmol, 76%) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 170 (M+1).
