Abstract: A simple and efficient synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine using Schiff base formation, intramolecular
cyclization (or N-alkylation), and Pictet–Spengler type reaction (hetero-aromatisation)
has been developed. In this chemistry, metal-free, cost and time-effective processes have been highlighted
to afford the complex nitrogenous scaffold using simple starting materials.
