Reaction Steps

3-Amino-6-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-methylpyrazine-2-carboxamide (1.01 g, 4.1 mmol) was taken into DMF (10 mL) followed by addition of 1,2-dibromoethane (10 mL) and cesium carbonate (2.7 g, 8.2 mmol). The mixture was warmed to 85° C. over 5 days followed by addition of another aliquot of cesium carbonate and 1,2-dibromoethane and heating was continued an additional 4 hours. The mixture was diluted with an excess of ethyl acetate and washed with water (3×) then brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Filtration and concentration ill vacuo followed by purification of the residue using silica gel flash chromatography using ethyl acetate:hexanes (1:1) as eluent. The pure fractions were combined and concentrated then dried in vacuo to give 3-amino-6-{3-[(2-bromoethyl)oxy]phenyl)-N-methylpyrazine-2-carboxamide (486 mg, 34% yield) was a yellow solid: MS (EI) for C14H16N4O2Br: 351, 353 (MH+).
