Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 5521-55-1, name is 5-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Safety of 5-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid
To a stirred suspension of 5-methyl-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (25 g, 181 mmol) in 540 mL THF at roomtemperature under N2 was added DIEA (31.7 mL, 181 mmol)resulting in a brown solution. Diphenyl phosphoryl azide(39.2 mL, 181 mmol) then was added dropwise as a solutionin 50 mL THF over 1 h behind a blast shield. The reac- tion was allowed to stir overnight. The reaction thenwas rotary evaporated to a small volume at room tempera- ture and partitioned between Et2O (1 L) and H20 (1 L) .The H2O layer was back extracted with 2 x 250 mL Et2O, andthe combined organics washed 2 x 1 L with sat’d Na2CO2.The organics were dried (MgSO4) , filtered, and concen- trated to a solid mass, which was triturated with Et2O togive the product as a yellow solid (15 g, 50%). Purercompound could be isolated by taking x g of the crudeproduct in 20x mL of Et2O, and treating with l-2x g ofdecolorizing carbon at room temperature for a few min- utes. After filtration and concentration, this materialwas homogeneous by TLC in EtOAc and pure white. The re- covery was typically 65%.
The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
