Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of t-butyl 5-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (1.35 g), DMF (25 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (25 mL) was stirred at 130° C. for 5 h. The reaction solution was cooled to RT and diluted with EtOAc. The mixture was washed with a saturated NaCl solution three times. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and the insoluble matter was separated by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound (648 mg). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ (ppm): 1.63 (s, 9H), 3.00 (s, 6H), 5.16 (d, J=12.8 Hz, 1H), 7.72 (d, J=12.8 Hz, 1 H), 8.16 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 8.81 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H).
