2-Ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine was prepared in an analogous manner to that described above for 2-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (Intermediate 4) but starting from 1-bromo-2-butanone instead of 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanone and using platinum (IV) oxide and ethanol in the place of 10% palladium on carbon paste and methanol for the hydrogenation step.
