2-Amino-5,6-dichloro-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)pyrazine → 1-(3-Amino-5,6-dichloropyrazin-2-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 6 ml of acetone there was dissolved 90 mg of 2-amino-5,6-dichloro-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)pyrazine prepared in Step A above, after which there was added 360 mg of manganese dioxide, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 days at room temperature. The manganese dioxide was filtered off, and the precipitate washed three times with acetone, and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum and passed through a silica gel column, then eluted first with hexane, followed by 10% dichloromethane in hexane, with product in the first three fractions (53 mg).
