Water → Methyl 5-(((allyloxy)carbonyl)amino)pyrazine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 5-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylate (2 g) in dichloromethane (20 mL) were added pyridine (36.4 mL) and allyl chloroformate (25.2 mL) in 4 divided portions respectively, under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. To the reaction mixture was added water under ice-cooling, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was sequentially washed with 1 M hydrochloric acid, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The obtained solid was collected by filtration while washing with a solvent (hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to obtain methyl 5-{[(allyloxy)carbonyl]amino}pyrazine-2-carboxylate (481 mg) as a white solid.
