Procedure

A solution of ethyl pyrazine-2-carboxylate (60 g) in ETOH (500 ml) was subjected to catalytic reduction using palladium hydroxide on carbon (5.0 g), in hydrogen at 3 atm for 4 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 62.8 g of ethyl 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrazine-2-carboxylate as an oil.
