Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 5-[2-(amino)ethylthio]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (1.93 g, 10 mmoles) and triethylamine (1.53 ml, mmoles) in methylene chloride (30 ml) was added methyl chloroformate (0.77 ml, 10 mmoles) under ice-cooling with stirring and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was washed in turn with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: ethanol/ethyl acetate=1:10) to obtain 1.68 g of the desired product (66.9%, colorless crystals).
