The reaction was carried out, under nitrogen, in a 2 L.x.4 neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, water condenser (with gas inlet), and a thermocouple. The reactor was charged with 5-methylpyrazinecarboxylic acid (300.84 g), AMBERLYST.(R). 15 ion exchange resin (60.17 g), and ethanol (1004 g). The mixture was stirred at reflux for about 16 h after which the reaction was found to be complete by GC or GC/MS. The resin was removed by pressure filtration and rinsed with ethanol. The rinse was added to the alcohol solution of the ester. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 336.7 g (93percent) of 5-methylpyrazinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester that was suitable for use in the following examples. It was also possible to pass the material through a thin film evaporator at 125° C./3 mm. The material from this distillation was almost colorless and crystallizes at about 20° C.

The reaction was carried out, under nitrogen, in a 500 mL×4 neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, water condenser (with gas inlet), and a thermocouple. The reactor was charged with sodium tungstate dihydrate (1.35 g) and water (30 g). The mixture was stirred to dissolve the solid (10 minutes). Aqueous sulfuric acid (50%) was added bringing the pH down to about 3.5. Aqueous 35% hydrogen peroxide (22.36 g) was added and the solution was stirred for 15 minutes. 5-Methylpyrazinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (27.27 g) was then added. The reaction mixture was warmed to 70 C. and then stirred for a total of 12 hours after which the reaction was checked by GC or GC/MS and was found to be complete. The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a light yellow solid. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice-bath for 3 hours. The product was collected by filtration and washed with ice water (25 g). Drying the solid at 60 C. under house vacuum yielded 20.57 g (69%) of the ester N-oxide.
