Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-amino-6-(3-chloromethylphenyl)-N-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (30.6 mg, 0.11 mmol.) was taken into acetonitrile (2 mL) and THF (1 mL) followed by addition of benzylamine (12 uL, 0.11 mmol) then diisopropylethylamine (20 uL, 0.11 mmol) and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature over six days. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by silica gel flash chromatography initially using ethyl acetate as eluent followed by elution with 10% methanol in dichloromethane. The pure fractions were combined and concentrated then dried in vacuo to give methyl 3-amino-6-(3-{[(phenylmethyl)amino]methyl}phenyl)pyrazine-2-carboxylate (4.9 mg, 13% yield) as a yellow amorphous solid: MS (EI) for C20H21N4O2: 349 (MH+).
