Sodium Hydroxide → 4-(6-Bromo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-ylamino)-benzoic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(6-Bromo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-ylamino)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (10.0 g; 27.7 mmol) is dissolved in 200 mL ethanol (200 proof) and 100 mL 1 N NaOH is added. The reaction is refluxed for 2 hours and then cooled to rt. The resulting solid is filtered and collected, then slurried up in 0.1 N HCl (75 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×75 mL). The pooled CH2Cl2 layers is washed with brine, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to provide 4-(6-bromo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-ylamino)-benzoic acid as a white solid (8 g).
