N-bromobutanimide → Methyl 3-Amino-6-bromopyrazine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylate (8.35 g, 54.53 mmol) and N-bromo-succinimide (9.705 g, 54.53 mmol) were stirred in MeCN (100 mL) at room temp for 16 hours. The resultant precipitate was filtered, washed with MeCN and dried under vacuum to give the desired product as a yellow solid (11.68 g, 92%). 1H NMR (400.0 MHz, DMSO) d 3.85 (3H, s), 7.55 (2H, br s), 8.42 (1H, s); MS (ES+) 233.78
