Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-N2-(1H-indol-5-yl)pyrazine-2,3-diamine (0.450 g, 1.48 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added carbonyldiimidazole (1.20 g, 7.40 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 65° C. for 48 hr, after which it was concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to yield a residue that was purified via silica gel chromatography eluting with EtOAc to yield the title compound (0.20 g, 41%). HPLC retention time: 2.07 minutes; MS ESI (m/z): 330.2/332.2 (M+1)+, calc. 329.
