Water → N'-(3-cyano-5-iodopyrazin-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylformimidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.59 ml (146 mmol) of phosphorus oxychloride is added drop by drop at 0° C. to 11 g (41.7 mmol) of a solution of 3-amino-6-iodopyrazine-2-carboxamide in 80 ml of dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight and then poured in a beaker containing ice and a little water. The pH is adjusted to 8 with 1 N soda solution; a precipitate is formed. The mixture is allowed to gradually return to room temperature and then the solid formed is filtered, rinsed with water and dried at 50° C. to yield 10.50 g of N′-(3-cyano-5-iodopyrazine-2-yl)-N,N-dimethyl formimidamide (84%) in the form of a beige solid.
