Procedure

To a stirred suspension of 2-amino-3,5-dibrompyrazine (427 g, 1688 mmol) in water (6.4 L)/THF (482 mL), at rt was added bromacetaldehyde-diethylacetal (998 g, 5065 mmol) in one portion. After stirring under reflux for 4 h, the clear orange solution was stirred for an additional 15 h at rt. The suspension was filtered, and the remaining solid was washed with MeOH (2 L) and dried in vaccuo at 60° C. to yield 6,8-dibromo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine as an off-white solid (500 g, 107% with residual MeOH): 1H-NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ=9.02 (s, 1H), 8.23 (d, 1H), 7.89 (d, 1H) ppm. UPLC-MS: RT=0.80 min; m/z 277.9 [MH+]; required MW=276.9.
