Procedure
In a 1-L flask, the methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (step 1, 16.08 g, 106 mmol) was suspended in CHCl3 (300 mL). 3-chlorobenzoperoxoic acid (Aldrich, 24.62 g, 143 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 (200 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was further extracted with DCM (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, and the filtrate was concentrated to afford the title compound. MS m/z=169 (M+H).
