Method B--To a solution of 2-carboxy-5-methyl-pyrazine-4-oxide (1.5 g) in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (80 ml) addition was made at 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen of a solution (1 M) of diborane in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml). To the reaction mixture maintained for 3 hours at 0° C. and 1 hour at room temperature, cautious addition was made of ethanol (50 ml) and then of a 0.5 M solution of alcoholic potash (25 ml). The resultant solution after evaporation at reduced pressure was taken up with chloroform which, on evaporation to dryness, gave 1.2 g of 2-hydroxymethyl-5-methyl-pyrazine-4-oxide.
