2,4-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride → 3-Chloro-7-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)carbonyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (I20) (450 mg, 2.86 mmol) and diethylaminomethyl polystyrene (2855 mg, 9.14 mmol) were slurried in dichloromethane (DCM) (10 mL) and treated with 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (0.439 mL, 3.14 mmol). The slurry was stirred at RT for 24 h, whereupon the resin was filtered and washed with dichloromethane (20 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford crude product. The product was purified by flash chromatography (Isolera, 10 g, 0-100% ethyl acetate/iso-hexane) to afford product then by MDAP (High pH method) to afford clean desired product in 350 mg.
