Triethylamine → N-[2-[[(3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinyl)carbonyl]amino]ethyl]glycine methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.7 g (59.4 mmol) of 3,5-diamino-6-chloro-N-(2-aminoethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide, 3.03 g (19.8 mmol) of methyl bromoacetate and 2.0 g (19.8 mmol) of triethylamine was stirred overnight in 250 ml of tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel (300 g) using 3.5:96.5 (v/v) methanol:methylene chloride as eluent. There was obtained 4.45 g (14.7 mmol, 74%) of N-[2-[[(3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinyl)carbonyl]amino]ethyl]glycine methyl ester as a white powder; mp 145°-146.5° C.
