Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-chloro-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (0.16 g, 0.55 mmol) in toluene (2 mL)) were added 3-amino-6-bromo-N-methyl-2-pyrazincarboxamide (0.13 g, 0.58 mmol), tetralds(triphenylphosphin)palladium(0) (64 mg, 0.06 mmol), ethanol (2 mL), and 2.0 N sodium carbonate (0.42 g, 4.00 mmol). The solution was degassed with nitrogen gas for 3-5 min and heated at 90-100° C. for 2 h. Reaction cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL). The organic layer was washed water (50 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (40 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford crude product. Trituration with methanol (1 mL), filtration and drying gave methyl 5-{5-amino-6-[(methylamino)carbonyl]pyrazin-2-yl}-2-chlorobenzoate (96 mg, 56% yield) as yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 8.62 (br s, 1H), 8.28 (d, 1H), 7.92 (dd, 2H), 7.52 (d, 1H), 4.02 (s, 3H), 3.02 (s, 3H); MS (EI) for C14H13N4O2Cl: 321 (MH+).
