A round bottom set up with reflux condenser was charged with pyrazin-2-amine (1000 mg, 10.52 mmol), 2-chloroacetaldehyde (˜50% wt) (2.03 ml, 31.55 mmol), and EtOH (23 mL) and heated under reflux overnight. Next day LC/MS showed completion. The mixture was concentrated and passed through a plug of silica (solvent used: 1% MeOH/DCM) to afford imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine as off-white solid. MS [M+H]=120.1; Calc'd for C6H5N3: 119.1
