Procedure
To a mixture of ethyl 5(tert-butoxycarbonyl)pyrazine-2-carboxylate (0.742 g, 2.78 mmol) and methanol (20 mL) was added potassium hydroxide (0.23 g, 4.1 mmol) in wafer (2 mL) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in wafer (5 mL) and acidified to pH 2 with 1M hydrochloric acid. The solid precipitate was collected by filtration to afford the title compound (0.61 g). MS (ESI) m/z 240.2 [M+H]+
