Procedure

Methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (2.44 g, 16 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (100 ml) and N-chlorosuccinimde (2.14 g, 16 mmol) was added thereto. Then, benzoyl peroxide (110 mg, 70%, 0.32 mmol) was added and refluxed under heating for 30 hours. The reaction solution was cooled, followed by removing undissolved substance by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by using silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to obtain 1.55 g of the desired compound.
