Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ammonium hydroxide (28%, 60 mL) was added drop wise to a slurry of 2,6-dimethoxy 3,5-dinitro pyrazine (10.0 g, 43.5 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL). Upon addition, the yellow slurry became red/yellow in color and eventually became a red solution. As the solution was heated at 65° C. for an hour, yellow precipitate (8.0 g, 92.2%) began to form, which was filtered hot and allowed to air dry.
