Cyclopropylamine → HCID 21218511, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.11 g (2.0 mmol) of cyclopropylamine is added to a suspension of 3.0 g (10 mmol) of methyl 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-3-pyrazinecarboxylate, 20 g of 3 Å molecular sieve and 20 g of 5 Å molecular sieve in 240 ml of dry toluene at room temperature. The reaction mixture is refluxed for 6 hours. After the mixture has cooled to room temperature, solid components are filtered off. The filtrate is extracted with 10% strength, aqueous hydrochloric acid, washed with distilled water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and freed from the solvent under reduced pressure. 2.8 g (81%) of a colorless, crystalline solid of melting point 74-77° C. are obtained.
