Reaktionsschritte

Diethyl oxalacetate, (4.7 g, 0.025 mol) and piperidine (1.66 g, 1.93 mL) are added to 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxaldehyde (2.4 g, 0.0195 mol) dissolved in 250 mL of toluene. After the reaction mixture is refluxed for two hours, the toluene is removed under reduced pressure to give a dark red oily residue. The product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane:EtOAc, 4:1). affording 3.1 g (58% yield), of the crude desired product. Crystallization from ether-hexane (4:1) gives analytically pure compound 1.5 g (28%) having a melting point 83°-85° C.
