Procedure

Acetylpyrazine (244 mg, 2.0 mmol) was suspended in glacial acetic acid (10 mL) and treated with pyridinium tribromide (640 mg, 2.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate, to provide 2-(2-bromoacetyl)pyrazine as a brown solid (154 mg, 38%). 1H NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.16 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.94 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.82 (dd, J=1.5, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.99 (s, 2H).
