Hydrochloric Acid → 3-amino-N-methyl-6-(4-hydroxyoxyphenyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-amino-N-methyl-6-[4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)phenyl]pyrazine-2-carboxamide (63 mg) was suspended in methanol followed by addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid (2 mL). The mixture was stirred for 15 min., poured into water (10 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturate aqueous sodium chloride then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Filtration, concentration and column chromatography on silica followed by drying in vacuo afforded 3-amino-N-methyl-6-(4-hydroxyoxyphenyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide (30 mg, 64% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz; DMSO-D6): 9.62 (s, 1H); 8.78 (m, 1H); 8.82 (m, 1H); 8.7 (s, 1H); 7.98 (d, 2H); 7.5 (br s, 1H); 6.8 (d, 2H); 2.85 (d, 3H); MS (EI) for C12H12N4O2:245 (MH+).
