Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

30 ml of ammonia in water is added under magnetic stirring to 15 g (53.8 mmol) of a solution of methyl 3-amino-6-iodopyrazine-2-carboxylate in 150 ml of methanol. The reaction medium is stirred at 25° C. for 48 hours. After evaporation of the solvents, the precipitate obtained is filtered, rinsed with water and then dried at 50° C. to yield 12.50 g of 3-amino-6-iodopyrazine-2-carboxamide (88%) in the form of a beige solid.
