Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-dichloropyrazine (298 mg, 2.00 mmol) and piperonyl alcohol (335 mg, 2.20 mmol) in dioxane (5 mL) was added NaH (55% in mineral oil, 96 mg, 2.2 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. Water (0.5 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. Drying, Na2CO3, filtration and concentration in vacuo furnished an oil (0.54 g) that was used directly in the next step. HRMS m/z calcd for C12H9ClN2O3 (M)+ 264.0302, found 264.0303.
