Synthetic Route of 5521-55-1, 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. 5521-55-1 name is 5-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, 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.
The reaction was carried out, under nitrogen, in a 1 L×4 neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, water condenser (with gas inlet), and a thermocouple. The reactor was charged with 5-methylpyrazinecarboxylic acid (100 g), AMBERLYST 15 ion exchange resin (20 g), and methanol (300 g). The mixture was stirred at reflux for about 20 h. After the reaction was complete (analyze with GC or GC/MS), the resin was removed by pressure filtration. The resin was rinsed with methanol and about 75% of the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting suspension was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight, and then in an ice-bath for 3 h. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with ice-cold methanol (2×80 g). Drying under vacuum at room temperature (25 inches of Hg) yielded 102.4 g (93%) of 5-methyl-2-pyrazonecarboxylic acid, methyl ester that was suitable for further use.
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 5-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
