Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-amino-6-bromo-pyrazine-2-carboxylate (3 g, 12.93 mmol) and lithium hydroxide (1.548 g, 64.65 mmol) in MeOH (11.74 mL) and H2O (11.74 mL) was heated to 90° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, neutralised with HCl and diluted with water, and the resultant precipitate collected by filtration (2.2 g, 78% Yield). 1H NMR (400.0 MHz, DMSO) 7.57 (br s, 2H) and 8.39 (s, 1H), 13.41 (br s, 1H) ppm.
