Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-bromo-3-[(S)4-Boc-3-benzylpiperazinyl]pyrazine 108 (140 mg, 0.313 mmol) in anhydrous dioxane (3 mL) was added a 1 M solution of potassium t-butoxide (0.34 mL, 0.34 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes and iodomethane (89 mg, 0.627 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added. The organic layer was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The organic solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by RP-HPLC to yield the desired 3-[(S)-4-Boc-3-benzylpiperazinyl]-5-bromo-2-methylaminopyrazine 111 (45 mg, 0.97 mmol).
