Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(5-bromo-2-fluorobenzoylamino)pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 102 (2.6 g, 7.34 mmol) and NH4OH (15 mL) in ethanol (50 mL) was heated at reflux for 10 min. Then, the reaction mixture was cooled at room temperature and the precipitate was filtered off, washed with ethanol and ether to give 2.1 g of the title product 103 as a white powder (LCMS analysis).
