Reaction Steps

2-[(3-Fluorophenyl)ethynyl]-6-methylpyrazine (520 mg, 2.45 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (3 mL), and the resulting solution was treated with HC1 in diethyl ether (2.7 mL of a 1.0M solution, 2.7 mmol). The mixture was sonicated, and the solvent decanted. The remaining solid was dried under high vacuum to afford 2-[(3-fluorophenyl)ethynyl]-6-methylpyrazine hydrochloride (338 mg, 60% yield) as a light yellow solid. M.p. 62-63° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) Δ8.73 (s, 1H), 8.57 (s, 1H), 7.54-7.35 (m, 3H), 7.28-7.20 (m, 3H), 2.84 (s, 3H).
