A six-step preparation of thrombin inhibitor drug candidate 1 from pyrazinone 7 in 47% overall yield is described. The problem of low reactivity between weak amine nucleophile 4 and poor electrophile 3-bromopyrazinone 17 was overcome with the use of pyridinylthioimidate 27 in the presence of ZnCl2 to afford adduct 3 in high yield. Several zinc complexes were characterized by solution and solid-state NMR and X-ray crystallographic ...
