Water → Tert-butyl {5-[2-(benzyloxy)ethoxy]pyrazin-2-yl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-[2-(Benzyloxy)ethoxy]pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (1.089 g) was suspended in tert-butyl alcohol (20 mL), and triethylamine (0.66 mL) and diphenylphosphoryl azide (0.9 mL) were added thereto. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux overnight and left to be cooled to room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was sequentially washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. It was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1-3:1) to obtain tert-butyl {5-[2-(benzyloxy)ethoxy]pyrazin-2-yl}carbamate (1.352 g) as a white solid.
