Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methoxypyrazine-2-carboxaldehyde (Tetrahedron (1999), 56(2), 265-273) (2.1 g, 15 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.27 g, 18 mmol), ethanol (20 ml) and triethylamine (4.17 ml, 30 mmol) was heated at 60° C. for 90 minutes. The volatiles were removed by evaporation and residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (100:0 increasing in polarity 0:100) to give the title compound (740 mg, 32%) as a white solid.
