Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (3.07 g, 0.020 mol) in acetonitrile (50 ml) containing 1.01 g (0.010 mol) of triethylamine is treated with a stream of trifluoromethanesulfenyl chloride gas at 25° C. under nitrogen. After 1 hour the solution is flushed with nitrogen, concentrated under vacuum, and the residue partitioned between water-chloroform. The chloroform extract is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give crude 6-chloro-3-trifluoromethylthioimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine which is purified by fractional sublimation.
