Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal → N'-(3-Cyano-6-isopropyl-pyrazin-2-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-formamidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the product from Example 244B (0.37 g, 2.28 mmol) and dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (0.30 g, 2.5 mmol, 1.1 eq) in toluene (25 mL) was heated under reflux for 1.75 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound (0.50 g, 100%) as a thick red/brown oil that was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.
