Reaction Steps

Ethylene chlorohydrin (16.11 g, 0.20M) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-3-p-chlorobenzyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine (11.06 g, 40 mM) in aqueous 5N NaOH (40 ml) and t-butanol (120 ml), and stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours. The t-butanol was distilled off in vacuo. Dilute aqueous K2CO3 was added to the residue, the resulting mixture being extracted three times with chloroform, dried wit anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was charged on a column of silica-gel (C-200, 300 g) packed with chloroform and eluted with chloroform-methanol (100:1) to obtain compound 641 (9.73 g, yield: 75.9%).
