Cesium carbonate → benzyl ((1S,3R)-3-(pyrazin-2-ylamino)cyclohexyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of CuI (0.006 g, 0.030 mmol), benzyl N-[(1S,3R)-3-aminocyclo-hexyl]carbamate, 18e, (0.075 g, 0.302 mmol) and cesium carbonate (0.197 g, 0.604 mmol) in DMF was evacuated and refilled with nitrogen multiple times. 2-iodopyrazine (0.036 mL, 0.362 mmol) and 2-(2-methylpropanoyl)cyclohexanone (0.020 mL g, 0.121 mmol) were then added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was diluted into ethyl acetate and aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-10% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to afford 40 mg of the desired product as yellow solid.
