Synthesis of some 6,8-diarylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives by using either reflux or microwave irradiation method and investigation of their anticancer activities

Abstract

In order to obtain some 6,8-diarylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines, 1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-aryloylimidazole derivatives were reacted with ammonium acetate in acetic acid by using a new method different from that found in the literature. Anticancer activities of the compounds obtained were evaluated and the noticeable activity values were reported.
