The important role of 3-Chloropyrazine-2-carbonitrile

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 55557-52-3, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

55557-52-3, In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 55557-52-3 as follows.

Step-1: (0930) Preparation of (3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methanamine hydrochloride: (0931) [00352] To a solution of 3-chloropyrazine-2-carbonitrile (10 g) in acetic acid (100 mL) was added Raney Nickel (50% slurry in water, 10 g). The resulting mixture was stirred under 4 bar hydrogen pressure at room temperature for 15 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and co-evaporated with toluene. The remaining brown solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate at 50 C and cooled on an ice-bath. 4M hydrochloric acid in dioxane (50 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 h. The precipitate formed was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried under reduced pressure. The product brown solid obtained was dissolved in methanol at 60 C and filtered. The filtrate was partially concentrated, cooled to room temperature and diethyl ether (500 mL) was added. The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature 18 h. The solids formed were collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (3-chloropyrazin-2- yl)methanamine hydrochloride (7.67 g, crude) as a brown solid. Calculated (M+H): 144.03; Found (M+H): 144.0
