Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1.13 g of 6-chloro-N-(1H-5-tetrazolyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide in 5 ml of dimethylsulfoxide, 5.35 ml of o-toluidine was added, and the mixture was heated for 24 hours at 100°-110 ° C. Water and 10%-sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were added to the reaction mixture, and the aqueous alkaline solution was washed with chloroform. Aqueous layer was filtered and the filtrate was adjusted with 10%-hydrochloric acid to pH 3. The precipitate was collected by filtration, and recrystalized from a mixture of dimethylformamide and ethanol affording 0.19 g of the desired compound as dark yellow crystals, m.p. 277°-282° C. (decomp.).
