Dimethylformamide → 5-Chloropyrazine-2-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (1.00 gram, 6.31 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 ml) was treated with catalytic amount of dimethylformamide, followed by (COCl)2 (0.85 ml, 9.46 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred over night. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo, and dried under vacuum to give desired 5-chloropyrazine-2-carbonyl chloride as solid (1.05 g, 100%).
