Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,5-dichloro-6-ethylpyrazine-2-carboxamide (600 mg), 3-(methylsulfonyl)aniline (467 mg), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.48 mL) and dioxane (18 mL) was stirred in a sealed tube at 170° C. for 17 hours. After cooling, the mixture was partitioned using ethyl acetate and water, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After the solvent was distilled off, the residue was washed with chloroform, and the solid was collected by filtration and dried to give 5-chloro-6-ethyl-3-{[3-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]amino}pyrazine-2-carboxamide (412 mg) as a yellow solid.
