Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethylene chlorohydrin (32.21 g, 0.4M) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-3-ethyl-5,6-dimethyl-pyrazine (12.16 g, 80 mM) and 5N NaOH (80 ml) in t-butanol (240 ml), and stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours. Dilute aqueous K2CO3 was added to the reaction mixture, the mixture extracted with chloroform, and the resultant aqueous layer extracted twice with further chloroform. The combined chloroform layers were dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was charged on a column of silica-gel (C-200, 250 g) packed with chloroform and eluted with chloroform-methanol (from 200:1 to 50:1) to obtain compound 630 (12.31 g, yield: 78.5%).
