Methyl 5-chloro-6-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate Usage And Synthesis

Pharmaceutical intermediate

The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is arguably an important signaling mechanism in the human brain and NMDA receptors play a critical role in regulating the strength of synapses, that is, in regulating synaptic plasticity. Methyl 5-chloro-6-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate is the key materials to prepare the NMDA receptor.

Uses

Methyl 5-?Chloro-?6-?methylpyrazine-?2-?carboxylate is a reactant used in the synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid 1-oxides.
