Participants

Reaction Steps

3-[2-(2-Chloro-4-methyl-thiazol-5-yl)-acetylamino]-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (Example 2.2) (1.020 g) was heated to 110° C. with potassium carbonate (1.08 g) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (30 ml) for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, diluted with water and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous fraction was acidified to pH 3 by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid (36% by weight in water) and then extracted again with ethyl acetate. The organic fraction was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give Compound No. B1 of Table B (0.61g).
