Abstract
This manuscript reports the chemoselective one-pot cross-Stille coupling of benzylic halides with 3,5-dichloro-2(1H)-pyrazinones, which avoids the purification and handling of toxic stannylated intermediates. Significant improvements in yields were established when microwave irradiation was performed with simultaneous cooling.
Key words

Representative Experimental Procedure Using a Dedicated Multimode Microwave Apparatus - Synthesis of 1,3-Dibenzyl-5-chloro-6-methylpyrazin-2 (1

)-one (
3e).
Pyrazinone 1e (0.324 g, 1.0 mmol), bromide 2a (0.205 g, 1.2 mmol, 1.2 equiv), hexabutyldistannane (0.649 g, 1.1 mmol, 1.1 equiv) and Pd(Ph3P)4 (0.058 g, 5 mol%) were suspended in DMF (12 mL) in a 50 mL glass vial equipped with a small magnetic stirring bar. The mixture was irradiated in the cavity of a Milestone-MYCROSYNTH multimode oven at a preselected maximum temperature of 170 °C for 10 min, using a maximum irradiation power of 120 W. The mixture was then cooled to r.t., poured into crushed ice, diluted with Et2O and the contents were stirred at r.t. for 2 h. It was then extracted with Et2O and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel, PE-EtOAc, 3:1) as eluent to afford analytically pure product 3e (0.224 g, 69%) as a viscous oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.17-7.35 (m, 10 H), 5.38 (s, 2 H), 4.12 (s, 2 H), 2.49 (s, 3 H) ppm. 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 158.2, 153.3, 136.1, 134.1, 133.9, 129.2, 129.0, 128.5, 127.2, 127.0, 126.4, 123.2, 50.2, 39.1, 16.9 ppm.
