Procedure

A solution of aminopyrazine (1 g, 10.5 mmol) and chloroacetaldehyde (50% wt in H2O; 1.98 g, 12.6 mmol) in 1.6 mL of EtOH was heated at 90° C. in a sealed tube for 5 h. Upon cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated and diluted with dichloromethane (DCM). The organic layer washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 then dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (eluted with 10% MeOH/DCM) to provide 0.8 g of product.
