Reaction Steps

To 19.92 g of a toluene solution of 3,6-difluoropyrazine-2-carbonitrile with a concentration of 12.7% were sequentially added 18 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide, 9 ml of water, and 2.95 g of sodium acetate. The resulting mixture was heated to 50° C., and stirred at 50° C. for 7 hours. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature, and 9 ml of water and concentrated hydrochloric acid were added to adjust the pH to 2.5. 54 ml of ethyl acetate was added and a separation was performed. The separated organic layer was washed with 18 ml of water, and then washed with a 10% saline solution. Each of the aqueous layers was extracted with 18 ml of ethyl acetate, and the thus obtained organic layers were combined with the original organic layer. The ethyl acetate was then removed by distillation under reduced pressure, yielding 3.45 g of an oily 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carbonitrile.
