Procedure

Methyl 5-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxylate (673 mg, 4.37 mmol) synthesized in Example (62a) was dissolved in phosphorous oxytrichloride (6.1 mL), and a few drops of N,N-dimethylformamide were added, followed by heating to reflux for 2 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction solution was poured into ice water, and extraction was carried out three times with chloroform (30 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine (100 mL each), and subsequently dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to afford the desired compound (611 mg, yield 81%) as a gray solid.
