Morpholine → 4-(3-Chloropyrazin-2-YL)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

149 g of 2,3-dichloropyrazine, 300 g of morpholine and 400 ml of water are stirred for 16 hours at 40° C. The reaction mixture is then extracted by shaking with ether. The ether extracts are washed with water until neutral, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in a waterpump vacuum. The residue is distilled in a waterpump vacuum. 2-Chloro-3-morpholinyl-pyrazine, boiling point 162°-165° C./15 mm Hg, is thus obtained.
