Reaction Steps

5-bromo-3-(6-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyrazin-2-amine (1.855 g, 6.099 mmol), 4-boronobenzoic acid (1.012 g, 6.099 mmol) and Na2CO3 (1.293 g, 12.20 mmol) suspended in MeCN (30 mL)/water (30 mL). The mixture was degassed (5×N2 vacuum cycles) and Pd(PPh3)4 (704.8 mg, 0.6099 mmol) added. The mixture was degassed again and heated to 90° C. No sign of product was observed therefore 25 mL aliquots were heated in the microwave for 1 hour at 140° C. which led to product formation. The mixture was allowed to cool and washed with DCM (×2). The aqueous layer was acidified to pH4 (1M HCl) and the resulting precipitate collected, washed with water and dried overnight under vacuum to give the product as a bright yellow solid, (1.30 g, 62% Yield).
