Application of 6164-79-0, A common heterocyclic compound, 6164-79-0, name is Methyl 2-pyrazinecarboxylate, molecular formula is C6H6N2O2, its 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.
To a stirred solution of sodium methoxide (25% in MeOH, 27.54 mL, 72.4 mmol, 1 eq) in 90 mL of toluene at 110 C. in a 3-neck flask attached with a mechanical stirrer, condenser and dropping funnel was added a solution of methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (10 g, 72.4 mmol, 1 eq) in 115 mL of methyl acetate, dropwise, over a period of ?35-40 min. A yellow precipitate was formed. Stirring was continued at 110 C. for 3 hrs. The reaction was cooled and the yellow precipitate was filtered and washed with a small quantity of toluene. This solid was taken into 200 mL of saturated ammonium chloride and 400 mL of EtOAc. The aqueous layer was extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 6.52 g (50%) of methyl 3-oxo-3-(pyrazin-2-yl)propanoate as a yellow solid.
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.
