Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.81 grams (0.01 mole) of 3-chloro-2-pyrazinesulfenyl chloride was dissolved in acetonitrile with stirring under nitrogen at 0° C. To the stirred solution, 0.99 gram (0.01 mole) of trimethylsilyl cyanide was added rapidly and the stirring continued for 18 hours. At the end of this period, the acetonitrile and residual trimethylsilyl cyanide were removed by blowing a stream of nitrogen over the reaction mixture and the desired product recovered as residue. The product was crystallized from ethanol to obtain a purified product, m.p. 70°-71° C., in an amount of 0.64 gram. The product had elemental analyses as follows.
