Procedure

To a solution of methyl 3-amino-2-pyrazine carboxylate (30.0 g, 200 mmol) in acetic acid (200 mL), bromine (11 mL) was added slowly via addition funnel. After complete addition of bromine, sodium carbonate powder was added slowly until precipitation occurred. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was reduced to half-volume in vacuo and then diluted with water (500 mL). The reaction mixture was shaken vigorously and the resulting solid was collected using vacuum filtration. The solid was washed with ether to afford a pure yellow solid (91% yield).
