2,6-Dichloropyrazine → HCID 18186851, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

K-t-BuO (1.28 g, 11.42 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 4-chromanol (1.81 g, 12.0 mmol) in dioxane (30 mL) at 0° C. (ice-bath). After being stirred for 5 min at room temperature, the mixture was chilled to 0° C. (ice-bath) and 2,6-dichloropyrazine (1.49 g, 10.0 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min and diluted with dichloromethane. Filtration and concentration in vacuo furnished an orange thick oil which was purified by chromatography on silica gel (15×4 cm) using n-hexane/ethyl acetate (8:2) as eluent. This furnished 1.87 g (71%) of the title compound as a colorless oil. HRMS m/z calcd for C13H11ClN2O2 (M)+ 262.0509, found 262.0520. Anal. (C13H11ClN2O2) C, H, N.
