These common heterocyclic compound, 41110-29-6, name is Methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate, 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. Product Details of 41110-29-6
A solution of mixture of 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-methylpyrazine 1-oxide compound with 3-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylpyrazine 1-oxide (1:1) (5.1 g, 15.17 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was cooled to 0 C. To the mixture was added phosphorus oxychloride (2.78 ml, 30.3 mmol) under nitrogen followed by n,n?-dimethylformamide (0.117 ml, 1.517 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and then was heated to 65 C. for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc and washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution. The aqueous layer was back-extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The mixture was purified with ISCO (0% to 50% EtOAc/Hexanes) to afford both isomers: methyl 5-chloro-3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (0.68 g, 48.1% yield) and methyl 6-chloro-3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (1.5 g, 106% yield).
The synthetic route of Methyl 3-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
