Cyclopropylamine → HCID 58314000, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diisopropylethylamine (2.4 mL, 13.62 mmol) and cyclopropylamine (943 μL, 13.62 mmol) were added to commercially available (Ark Pharm, Inc.) 6,8-dibromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine (2.51 g, 9.08 mmol) dissolved in 2-propanol (9 mL). The solution was placed in an 80° C. oil bath. After 4.5 h, the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The brown residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (50 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic layer was washed further with water (50 mL) and then brine (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via a filtration over a short plug of silica gel (40% EtOAc/hexanes) and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 6-bromo-N-cyclopropylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-amine (2.19 g, 95%) as a light brown solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ: 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.46 (d, 1H, J=1.2 Hz), 7.44 (d, 1H, J=1.2 Hz), 6.26 (bs, 1H), 3.02 (dddd, 1H, J=7.2, 7.2, 7.2, 3.6 Hz), 0.89-0.95 (m, 2H), 0.64-0.69 (m, 2H).
