Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-Aminopyrazine-2-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine monohydrate (34 mL, 1094.95 mmol) was added portionwise to a stirred suspension of methyl 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylate (21.3 g, 139.09 mmol) in ethanol (65 mL) at r.t. The resulting slurry was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solid was washed with cold ethanol (2×25 ml) and dried to a constant weight to afford 3-aminopyrazine-2-carbohydrazide (20.75 g, 97%) as a beige solid: 1H NMR Spectrum; (DMSO-d6) 4.49 (2H, d), 7.46 (2H, br s), 7.78 (1H, d), 8.17 (1H, d), 9.79 (1H, t); Mass Spectrum [M+H]+=154.
