Phenyl chloroformate → Phenyl 5-phenylpyrazin-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phenyl chloroformate (0.64 mL, 5.1 mmol) was added to a vigorously stirred solution of 2-amino-5-phenylpyrazine 1-1 (794 mg, 4.64 mmol) in pyridine (10 mL) at room temperature. After being stirred at room temperature overnight, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc to give a suspension, in which the desired compound precipitated out. The suspension was successively washed with 1 N KHSO4, brine and dist. water. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to give phenyl N-(5-phenyl-2-pyrazinyl)carbamate 1-2 (847 mg, 63%). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to produce precipitate, which was collected and dried to give the second crop (340 mg, 25%).
