2-Amino-3-chloropyrazine → HCID 86670917, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-6-(1-bromo-2,2-dimethoxy-ethyl)-pyridine (from Example 37 supra) (5.267 g, 16.2 mmol), 3-chloropyrazin-2-amine (2.1 g, 16.2 mmol), and pTsOH.H2O (2.1 g, 11 mmol) in CH3CN (900 mL) and water (90 mL) was stirred and heated at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by chromatography (CH2Cl2:CH3OH, 100:1) to give 3-(6-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-8-chloro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine. (Yield 4.86 g, 52%). LC-MS: [M+H]+ 309.
