1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 3-Amino-N-methylpyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (965 mg, 6.94 mmol), methylamine hydrochloride (697 mg, 10.3 mmol), EDCI (1.61 g, 8.4 mmol), HOBt (1.136 g, 8.4 mmol) and DIEA (2.42 mL, 13.9 mmol) in DMF (24 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. It was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (combiflash-companion; DCM/MeOH gradient) to give the title compound.
