Synthesis of 3,5-diaminopyrazinoic acid from 3,5-diamino-2,6-dicyanopyrazine and intermediates

摘要

An improved method for the preparation of 3,5-diaminopyrazinoic acid (which is useful for the manufacture of diuretics) is described. New compounds obtained in the process include 3,5-diamino-2,6-dicarbamoylpyrazine; 3.5-diamino-6-carbamoylpyrazinoic acid and 3,5-diamino-6-carbamoylpyrazine. The latter compounds are also useful as curing agents for epoxy resins.
