General procedure for the synthesis of aminopyrazine from 2-cyanopyrazine: 30 g of 20% sodium hydroxide solution and 100 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution were added to a 500 ml three-necked flask, and 2-cyanopyrazine (21 g, 0.2 mol) was added slowly at room temperature, and the reaction was stirred for 1 hour. Subsequently, the reaction system was warmed up to 50-60°C and the reaction was continued for 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, extraction was carried out with dichloromethane (4 x 200 ml), the organic phases were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The dried organic phase was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 15.7 g of white solid product in 82.6% yield.
