Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.25 M [4-(1-piperidinyl-methyl)phenyl]magnesium bromide in THF (5.51 ml, 1.37 mmol) is added dropwise to a solution of 3-amino-6-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl amide (Intermediate B) (0.09 g, 0.27 mmol) in THF (5 ml) and the resulting solution is stirred for 2 hours. The solution is cooled to 0° C., and 2M HCl (10 ml) is added. The solution is washed with EtOAc (20 ml) and then the pH is adjusted to 11 using 2M NaOH. Extraction with EtOAc (50 ml), drying (MgSO4) and removal of solvent in vacuo affords a yellow oil. Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, 50-100% EtOAc in iso-hexane) followed by trituration with methanol affords the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-6) δ 9.04 (1H, s), 8.12 (1H, d), 7.97 (2H, bs), 7.93-7.88 (3H, m), 7.71 (1H, d), 7.47 (2H, d), 3.54 (2H, s), 2.36 (4H, bs), 1.52-1.51 (4H, m), 1.43-1.37 (2H, m); MS m/z 441, 443 [M+H]+
