Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-amino-6-(1-isopropyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-3-pyridyl)-5-phenyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid (350 mg) in MeOH (7.0 ml), was added thionyl chloride (0.146 m) dropwise under ice-bath cooling. After 1 hour stirring at the same temperature, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 6 hours and then refluxed with stirring for 15 hours. After cooling, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Water was poured into the residue and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 10 with 1N aq. NaOH. A precipitate was isolated by filtration, washed with water, and dried in vacuo to give methyl 3-amino-6-(1-isopropyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-3-pyridyl)-5-phenyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylate (244 mg).
