Reaction Steps

3,5-Diamino-6-chloro-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.0 g, 9.88 mmol) in neat ethylene diamine (18 mL) is heated using microwave irradiation in a Personal Chemistry Emrys™ Optimizer microwave reactor at 130° C. for 1 h at 4 bar. The solvent is removed in vacuo, water (10 mL) is added to the orange solid and the suspension is then cooled to 0° C. The off-white solid is collected by filtration and dried under vacuum at 50° C. to afford the title compound. [M+H]+ 231.
