General description

2-Amino-3,5-dibromopyrazine can be synthesized from 2-aminopyrazine via bromination using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). It reacts with sodium dicyanocuprate to form a mixture of mono and dicyanation products.[1] The formation of 2-aminothiazolopyrazines by reacting 2-amino-3,5-dibromopyrazine with isothiocyanates has been reported.[2]

Application

2-Amino-3,5-dibromopyrazine may be used in the synthesis of:
  • 2-amino-5-bromopyrazin-3-thiol[3]
  • 2-amino-3,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-pyrazine[4]
  • 3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2a]pyrazine-3-ones[5]
