Water → Ethanethioic acid,s-(2-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazin-3-ylethyl)ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(2-chloroethyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine (1.51 g) in DMF (10 ml) was added potassium thioacetate (1.23 g). The mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water. The mixture was subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate (50 ml×4). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (carrier: silica gel, 60 g, developing solvent: ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (1.65 g) as colorless solid product.
