Reaction Steps

Ethylene chlorohydrin (20.15 g, 0.25M) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-3-benzyl-5,6-diethyl-pyrazine (12.10 g, 50 mM) and 5N NaOH (50 ml) in t-butanol (150 ml), and stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours. The t-butanol was distilled off in vacuo, water was added thereto and the mixture was extracted three times with chloroform. The extract was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was charged on a column of silica-gel (C-200, 230 g) packed with chloroform and eluted with chloroform-methanol (100:1) to obtain compound 640 (12.31 g, yield: 58.7%).
