2-(6-Bromo-3-pyridyl)-8-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine

The structure of the title compound, C12H9BrN4, prepared by the reaction of 2-bromo-1-(6-bromo-3-pyridyl)ethanone with 2-amino-3-methylpyrazine indicates that the compound with the bromopyridyl substituent at position 2 of the imidazopyrazine fused-ring system represents the major product of this reaction. The plane of the pyridine ring forms a dihedral angle of 16.2 (2)° with the essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.006 Å) imidazopyrazine system. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...N interactions.
