Water → Methyl 3-aminopyrazinecarboxylate

関与物質

反応手順

3-Aminopyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (55.5 g, 0.4 mol) is suspended in 400 mL of methanol, cooled in an ice bath and concentrated sulfuric acid (80 mL) is gradually added with stirring and stirring then continued for 48 hours at room temperature. The resulting dark brown solution is poured into 700 mL of water containing sodium bicarbonate (160 g). The brown crystalline solid which precipitates is collected and dried. The crude product is purified by recrystallization from water to yield the product as yellow needles in 63% yield, melting point 169°-170° C.
