Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Pyridine-3,4-diamine (2.00 g, 18.3 mmol) and oxalic acid (1.96 g, 20.2 mmol) were dissolved in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (2.00 M, 20.0 mL) and the mixture was stirred with heat at 100° C. for 24 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the precipitate was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure. Thus, pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine-2,3(1H,4H)-dione (3.20 g, 74%) was obtained.
