The invention relates to a 
favipiravir synthesis process, which comprises: 1) dissolving a 
pyrazine compound in an organic 
reagent I, adding an 
oxidizing agent M, and carrying out a 
nitrogen oxidation reaction to obtain a white 
solid; 2) adding the obtained white 
solid to an organic 
reagent II, and carrying out a chlorination reaction to obtain a pale yellow 
solid; 3) uniformly mixing the obtained pale yellow solid, a dried aprotic polar 
solvent, a dried 
fluorine ion donor 
reagent and 
tetrabutylammonium bromide, and carrying out a stirring reaction to obtain a pale yellow solid; 4) adding the obtained pale yellow solid to water, and carrying out a reaction with 1,4-dioxane and 
sodium acetate to obtain a yellow oily matter; and 5) uniformly mixing the obtained yellow oily matter and concentrated 
sulfuric acid to obtain the target product 
favipiravir. According to the present invention, the method has advantages of simple and easily available raw materials, simple synthesis process and mild conditions, 
nitrogen oxidation, chlorination, fluorization and 
hydrolysis are performed to finally prepare the 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-
formamide, and the good industrial value is provided.
