Procedure
To a solution of aminopyrazine (5 g, 53 mol, 1 eq.) in ethanol (212 ml) was added bromoacetaldehyde diethylacetal (12 ml, 80 mol, 1.5 eq.) and HBr (48%, 26.5 ml). The mixture was heated at 70–80° C. for 17 hours. The mixture was then cooled to rt (room temperature), then a mixture of 1N NaOH (200 ml) and 20% IPA/DCM (isopropyl alcohol/Dichloromethane) was added to the reaction mixture. The combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford 5.9 g of brown solid of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (yield 94%).
