Triethylamine → 5-Chloro-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3,4-dimethoxy phenylamine (0.306 g, 2 mmol) and triethylamine (0.557 ml, 4 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) was added 5-chloro-pyrazine-2-carbonyl chloride (0.354 g, 2 mmol) at 0-5° C. The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (20 ml), washed with saturated NaHCO3 (20 ml), brine (20 ml), dried (anhyd. Na2SO4) and concentrated to get 0.42 g of crude 5-chloro-pyrazine-2 carboxylic acid (3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-amide, which was directly used in the next reaction.
