Some common heterocyclic compound, 55557-52-3, name is 3-Chloropyrazine-2-carbonitrile, molecular formula is C5H2ClN3, 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. Formula: C5H2ClN3
(a). (3-Chloropyrazin-2-yl)methanamine hydrochloride was prepared as follows. To a solution of 3-chloropyrazine-2-carbonitrile (160 g, 1 .147 mol) in acetic acid (1.5 L) was added Raney Nickel (50% slurry in water, 70 g, 409 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred under 4 bar hydrogen at room temperature overnight. Raney Nickel was removed by filtration over decalite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and co-evaporated with toluene. The remaining brown solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate at 50C and cooled on an ice-bath. 2M hydrogen chloride solution in diethyl ether (1 .14 L) was added in 30 min. The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature over weekend. The crystals were collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried under reduced pressure at 40C. The product brown solid obtained was dissolved in methanol at 60C. The mixture was filtered and partially concentrated, cooled to room temperature and diethyl ether (1000 ml) was added. The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The solids formed were collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried under reduced pressure at 40C to give 153.5 g of (3-chloropyrazin-2- yl)methanamine.hydrochloride as a brown solid (74.4 %, content 77 %).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 55557-52-3, its application will become more common.
