Morpholine → 4-(6-Chloropyrazin-2-yl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-dichloropyrazine (1.0 equiv.) in acetonitrile (0.3 M) was added morpholine (3.5 equiv.) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuo. The crude material was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, the organic phase was dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 4-(6-chloropyrazin-2-yl)morpholine in 75% yield. LCMS m/z (M+H)=200.0, Rt=0.61 min.
