General procedure for the synthesis of methyl 5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylate from methyl 5-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxylate: Methyl 5-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxylate (673 mg, 4.37 mmol) was dissolved in phosphorus trichloride (6.1 mL), and a few drops of N,N-dimethylformamide were added as catalyst. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 2 h under nitrogen protection. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was slowly poured into ice water and extracted three times with chloroform (30 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed sequentially with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated saline (100 mL each). The organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to give methyl 5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylate (611 mg, 81% yield) as a gray solid. The structure of the product was confirmed by 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 4.05 (3H, s), 8.71 (1H, d, J = 1.6 Hz), 9.10 (1H, d, J = 1.2 Hz).

Reaction Conditions:

in methanol;diethyl ether for 0.5 h;

Steps:

(5-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methyl methanesulfonate; [00369] To a solution of 5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (3.21 g, 20.3 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 mL) and methanol (20.0 mL) was added a 2M solution in diethyl ether of trimethylsilyldiazomethane (20.3 mL, 40.5 mmol). A vigorous bubbling was observed initially, and LCMS after 30 minutes indicated that the reaction was complete.Concentration of the reaction mixture afforded methyl 5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylate (3.53 g, 20.5 mmol, 101% yield) as a tan solid. This material was shown to be >95% pure by NMR analysis and was used in the subsequent step without any purification. ^lH NMR (400 MHz, CDC1₃) δ (ppm): 9.09 (s, 1H), 8.70 (s, 1H), 4.04 (s, 3H).[00370] To a 0 °C solution of methyl 5-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylate (3.50 g, 20.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (101 mL) was added a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran of diisobutylaluminum hydride (42.6 mL, 42.6 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 0 °C for 2 hours, after which it was quenched by the addition of methanol (2 mL). To this mixture was added saturated sodium-potassium tartrate solution, and the resulting reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 100 mL), dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated to brown residue. Purification was achieved by column chromatography on silica gel (Luknova 120 g, 20 mL/min) using 30 to 100% ethyl acetate in hexanes over 60 minutes to afford (5- chloropyrazin-2-yl)methanol (1.45 g, 10.0 mmol, 50 % yield) as a tan solid. NMR (400 MHz, CDC1₃) a (ppm): 8.56 (s, 1H), 8.45 (s, 1H), 4.84 (s, 3H), 2.79 (br. s, 1H).[00371] To a 0 °C solution of (5-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methanol (648 mg, 4.48 mmol) in dichloromethane (12 mL) was added triethylamine (1.87 mL, 13.5 mmol) followed by dropwise addition of methanesulfonyl chloride (0.699 mL, 8.97 mmol). After 20 minutes, analysis by LCMS indicated the complete conversion to the mesylate product. The reaction mixture was concentrated to afford (5-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methyl methanesulfonate (787 mg, 3.53 mmol, 79% yield) as an oil. The material was used crude in the next step without further purification.
