Methyl pyrazinoate → HCID 15508341, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

At room temperature, 2-methoxycarbonylpyrazine (1.00 g) was dissolved in methanol. The resulting solution was subjected to catalytic reduction by the addition of 10% palladium-carbon (100 mg) for 2 hours under normal pressure. After the removal of the catalyst by filtration, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (5% methanol-dichloromethane), whereby 6-methoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine (880 mg, 86%) was obtained as a yellow oil.
