Electric Literature of 41110-29-6, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 41110-29-6 name is Methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.
A solution of mixture of 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-methylpyrazine 1-oxide compound with 3-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylpyrazine 1-oxide (1:1) (5.1 g, 15.17 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was cooled to 0 C. To the mixture was added phosphorus oxychloride (2.78 ml, 30.3 mmol) under nitrogen followed by n,n?-dimethylformamide (0.117 ml, 1.517 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and then was heated to 65 C. for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc and washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution. The aqueous layer was back-extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The mixture was purified with ISCO (0% to 50% EtOAc/Hexanes) to afford both isomers: methyl 5-chloro-3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (0.68 g, 48.1% yield) and methyl 6-chloro-3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (1.5 g, 106% yield).
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
