5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine

Many derivatives of carboxy chloropyrazines have been prepared by the action of phosphoryl chloride on the corresponding hydroxypyrazine. In this way were prepared 2-chloro-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine (371, 423, 836), 2-chloro-3-methoxycarbonyl-5,6-diphenylpyrazine (but the corresponding hydroxy compound did not react with phosphorus tribromide) (837), and 3-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-... 

Carboxypyrazine A -oxides have been prepared by hydrolysis of carbamoyl- and alkoxycarbonylpyrazine A(-oxides as follows (reagent and conditions) 2-carbamoyl-pyrazine 1-oxide (10% NaOH/reflux/12h) (838) 3-carbamoylpyrazine 1-oxide (10% NaOH/reflux/30 min) (1266, cf. 838) 3-A(-acetylcarbamoylpyrazine 1-oxide (10% NaOH/heat) (1057) 3-morpholinocarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide (18% HQ/reflux/ 8h) (870) 2-hydroxy-5-methoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide 2.5N NaOH/20-25°/ 20min) (739) 3-hydroxy-5-methoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide (KOH/22 /2h gave 3-carboxy-5-hydroxypyrazine 1-oxide, which interfered with the growth of Streptococcus faecium Escherichia coli at 6 x lO and 4 x 10" M, respectively) (1035) 2-amino-3-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-methyIpyrazine 1-oxide 2N NaOH/reflux/ 30min) (365c) and 2-amino-5-chloro-3-methoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide 2.5N NaOH/heat) (876,1222). 

Methoxypyrazines (31) have been prepared by diazomethane methylation of 2-hydroxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (60, 311, 367), 2-hydroxy-3-isopropylpyrazine (59, 367), 2-hydroxy-3-propyl(ethyl or hexyl)pyrazine (367), 3-hydroxy-2-isobutyl-5(and 6)methylpyrazine and 2-hydroxy-3-isobutyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine (368), 2,3-dihydroxypyrazine (832), 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy- and 2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-diphenyl-pyrazine (832), 2-hydroxy-6-methoxy(and benzyloxy)pyrazine (832), 2,6-dihydroxy-3,5-diphenylpyrazine (873), 2,3,5-trifluoro-6-hydroxypyrazine (851), 2-chloro-6-hydroxy-3,5-diphenylpyrazine (873), 2-chloro-6-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-phenylpyrazine (873), 2-chloro-6-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-phenylpyrazine (873), 5,6-dichloro-1 -cyclohexyl-34iydroxy-2-oxo-l, 2-dihydropyrazine (853), 2-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methoxycarbonylpyrazine (881), 2-(4 -amino-3, 5 -dibromo-phenylsulfonamido)-3Tiydroxy-6-methoxypyrazine (881), 2-amino-3-hydroxy-... 

Carbamoylpyrazine A-oxides are also prepared from the corresponding esters. 3-Methoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxide with ammonium hydroxide at reflux gave 3-carbamoylpyrazine 1-oxide (1266) and similarly with hydroxylamine gave 3-N-hydroxy carbamoylpyrazine 1-oxide (1266). 2-Amino-5-chloro-3-methoxycarbonyl-pyrazine 1-oxide with methylamine gave 2-amino-5-chloro-3-A-methylcarbamoyl-pyrazine 1-oxide (876).
