Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methylguanidine in methanol (150 ml.) prepared from methylguanidine sulfate (108.5 g.) and sodium methoxide (40.4 g.) is added methyl 3-amino-5-cyclopentylamino-6-chloropyrazinoate (32.85 g.). The reaction is refluxed for 1/2 hour then poured into ice water (300 ml.) affording 28.0 g. of N-methylamidino-3-amino-5-cyclopentylamino-6-chloro-2-pyrazinecarboxamide which melts at 184°-187° C. after recrystallization from 2-propanol.
