Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(2,2-Difluoroethoxy)pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 5 N sodium hydroxide solution (266 μL) was added to a solution of methyl 5-(2,2-difluoroethoxy)pyrazine-2-carboxylate obtained in Preparation Example 51-(1) (145 mg) in ethanol (4 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. 5 N hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution to prepare an acidic solution. Ethyl acetate and brine were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (92 mg).
