Tetrahydrofuran → 3-{5-Amino-6-[(3-fluorophenyl)carbonyl]pyrazin-2-yl}-N-(phenylmethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Fluorophenylmagnesium bromide (1.5 mL of a 0.5 M solution in TBF, 0.75 mmol) was added dropwise to a THF (10 mL) solution of 3-amino-6-{3-[(benzylamino)carbonyl]phenyl}-N-methoxy-N-methylpyrazine-2-carboxamide (0.10 g, 0.25 mmol) at 0° C. under N2. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted 3× with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. The crude product was separated by preparative HPLC and lyophilized to give a yellow solid (4 mg, 4% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 9.10 (t, 1H), 9.05 (s, 1H), 8.42 (bs, 1H), 8.01 (m, 2H), 7.86-7.80 (m, 2H), 7.74 (d, 1H), 7.57-7.51 (m, 2H), 7.47-7.43 (m, 2H), 7.38-7.32 (m, 2H), 7.28-7.24 (m, 2H), 6.47-6.59 (m, 1H), 4.50 (d, 2H). MS (EI) for C25H19FN4O2: 427 (MH+).
