Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.47 g of 3-amino-4-[(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)thio]benzyl alcohol were added 20 ml of methanol and 0.45 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 30 minutes. Then the reaction mixture was made alkaline by adding ice-water and aqueous ammonia. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to thereby give 1.23 g of the title compound as yellow crystals.
