The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature overnight, then poured into brine (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organics were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (25 mL), and a 1N HCl solution (25 mL) then dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to give imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a yellow solid (1.1 g, 39%). 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.96 (s, 1H), 7.8-7.6 (m, 4H), 3.98 (s, 3H).
