2-Amino-5-bromo-6-chloro-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine

Aminopyrazine was oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid at 20° to 3-aminopyrazine 1 -oxide and at 50° for 15 hours to 2-aininopyrazine 1,4-dioxide (51%) (also obtained by similar oxidation of 3-aminopyrazine 1-oxide) (1189). m-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid was also used for the oxidation of 2-aminopyrazine to its 1-oxide (1258). The following aminopyrazine TV-oxides have been prepared by oxidation (reagent and conditions) 2-amino-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide (m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in chloroform at reflux) (880, 1222) 2-amino-5-chloro-3-methoxycarbonyl(and methylcarbamoyl)pyrazine 1-oxide (m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in chloroform at reflux) (1222) 2-amino-5-bromo-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide (wperoxyacetic acid) (906) 2-amino-3-bromo-5,6-dimethylpyrazine 1-oxide (peroxyacetic acid) (907) and 2,3-bis(pyridin-2 -yl)pyrazine 1,4-dioxide (hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid at room temperature) (754). 

The brominations of 2-amino-3-carboxypyrazine (804), 2-amino-5-bromo-3-carboxypyrazine (805, 806), and 2-amino-5-bromo-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine (807) to 2-amino-3,5-dibromopyrazine have been described in Section V.IB (2) nitrations of 2-amino-3-carboxy-5-chloro-6-ethylaminopyrazine to 2-amino-5-chloro-6-ethylamino-3-nitropyrazine (1181) and 2,6-diamino-3,5-dicarboxypyrazine... 

Alkoxycarbonylpyrazines have been oxidized to alkoxycarbonylpyrazine Af-oxides as follows 2-ethoxycarbonylpyrazine with perhydrol gave 3-ethoxy-carbonylpyrazine 1-oxide (575) 2-amino-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine refluxed with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in chloroform gave 2-amino-3-methoxycarbonyl-pyrazine 1-oxide (876,880,1222) the 5-bromo (808, 877,878, 1222) and 5-chloro (875, 876, 879, 1222) derivatives were prepared similarly and some 3-ethoxy-carbonylpyrazine 1-oxides have been prepared by oxidation (reagent not stated) of...
