Electric Literature of 98-97-5,Some common heterocyclic compound, 98-97-5, name is Pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, molecular formula is C5H4N2O2, 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.
Pyrazine-2-carb aldehyde A round bottom flask was charged with pyrazine carboxylic acid (17.7 g, 140 mMol), methanol (200 mL) and conc. sulphuric acid (2 mL) and the mixture was stirred at reflux for 4 hrs then left to stand overnight. The next day the mixture was refluxed for 2 more hours. The solvent was then evaporated in vacuo, the residue was diluted with dichloromethane and neutralised with 20% sodium bicarbonate solution. The dichloromethane phase was dried over MgS04 and evaporated to give the crude product as an off-white solid. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane) gave pyrazinecarboxylic acid methyl ester 13.5 g as a white solid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route Pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, its application will become more common.
