Electric Literature of 41110-28-5,Some common heterocyclic compound, 41110-28-5, name is 3-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, molecular formula is C6H6N2O2, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
Step 1: Methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate In a 2-L flask, 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (Matrix, 19.95 g, 144 mmol) was suspended in MeOH (500 mL). The suspension was cooled in an ice-water bath, and concentrated sulfuric acid (Fluka, 27.3 mL, 506 mmol) was added over a time period of 5 min. The reaction mixture was heated to 80 C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up in DCM (750 mL). The excess acid was neutralized carefully with aqueous NaOH (5m, 200 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with DCM (250 mL). The combined organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to afford 16.15 g of the title compound (106 mmol, 73%). MS m/z=153 [M+H]+. Calculated for C7H8N2O2: 152.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, its application will become more common.
