Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% oily product) (78.8 mg) was added to 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (2.14 mL) at a room temperature in an argon atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes under the same conditions. Next, the reaction mixture was transferred to a metal seal tube. A copper powder (146 mg) and 2-amino-5-bromopyrazine (300 mg) were added, and the resultant mixture was heated and stirred at 160° C. for about 6 hours. After cooling, 25% aqueous ammonia and water were poured into the reaction solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, and then filtrated through Celite. Water (20 mL) was added to the filtrate, and the resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL×3). The organic layer was washed with saturated brine (50 mL). The washed organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtrated, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to give 5-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)pyrazin-2-amine (104 mg).
