1) By condensation of 2 chloropyrazine (I) with N-acetylphenylhydroxylamine (II) by means of NaH in DMF (or NaOH in DMF - water; or with K2CO3 in acetone).
2) The condensation of (I) with benzyl-N-hydroxy-N-phenylcarbamate (III) in ethanolic KOH gives 5-[4-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)phenyl]pyrazin-2(1H)-one (IV), which is hydrolyzed witn HBr in acetic acid yielding 5-(4-aminophenyl)pyrazin-2(1H)-one (V). Finally, this compound is acetylated with acetic anhydride.
