Reaction Steps

(S)-6-Bromo-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2(3H)-one. The title compound was prepared using (S)-6-bromo-N2-(1-phenylethyl)pyrazine-2,3-diamine (See Example 3.A) (0.50 g, 1.71 mmol), 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (0.35 g, 2.13 mmol), and tetrahydrofuran (7 mL) as described in General Procedure D1. The crude material was dissolved in methanol (5 mL), and the product was triturated with H2O while sonicating. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven overnight to afford 0.34 g (1.07 mmol, 62%) of (S)-6-bromo-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2(3H)-one. MS (ESI) m/z 319.4 [M+1]+.
