Reaction Steps

8-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (0.10 g, 0.36 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (0.36 mL), then nitronium tetrafluoroborate (72 mg, 0.54 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour under nitrogen atmosphere. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and it was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:n-hexane=1:3) to give 8-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-methyl-3-nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (1.54 g) as a yellow oil.
