Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-3-methoxy-6-methyl-2-pyrazinamine (Example 118c) (0.8 g) and ammonium formate (0.4 g) in methanol (20 mL) was added palladium on carbon (0.2 g) and the reaction mixture heated at reflux for 5h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of celite, and the filtrate evaporated. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and water, and the organic phase dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to give the title compound as a white solid (0.44 g).
