Procedure

A boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex (91.7 μL) was added dropwise to a suspension of 2-methylpyrazine-5-carboxylic acid (1 g) and tert-butyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate (4.75 g) in THF (20 mL) under ice-cooling. The reaction solution was warmed to RT, followed by stirring for 2 h. A saturated NaCl solution and EtOAc were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and the insoluble matter was separated by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound (1.4 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ (ppm): 1.65 (s, 9H), 2.65 (s, 3H), 8.57 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 9.10 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H).
