Water → N-[2-[[(3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinyl)carbonyl]amino]ethyl]-N-methyl-beta-alanine methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.44 g (10.0 mmol) of 3,5-diamino-6-chloro-N-(2-methylaminoethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide, 1.67 g (10.0 mmol) of methyl 3-bromopropionate and 1.38 g (10.0 mmol) of potassium carbonate was stirred in 20 ml of DMF for 18 hours at ambient temperature. Water (100 ml) was added and the solid was filtered and air dried. Crystallization from ethanol provided 2.1 g (6.34 mmol, 63%) of N-[2-[[(3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinyl)carbonyl]amino]ethyl]-N-methyl-beta-alanine methyl ester as white crystals; mp 136.5°-137° C.
