Ethylenediamine → 3,5-Diamino-N-(2-aminoethyl)-6-chloropyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.0 g (10.0 mmol) of methyl 3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylate and 13.5 g (22.6 mmol) of ethylene diamine was allowed to stand for 3 days at ambient temperature. The excess amine was evaporated and the residue was crystallized from ethanol. There was obtained 1.38 g (5.9 mmol, 59%) of 3,5-diamino-6-chloro-N-(2-aminoethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide: mp 173°-174° C.
