Reaktionsschritte

50 g of ethyl 8-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (Example 8A; 158 mmol, 1 equivalent) were dissolved in 600 ml of dioxane, 790 ml of 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1.58 mol, 10 equivalents) were added and the mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h. 316 ml of 6 N hydrochloric acid were added, and the mixture was concentrated to about ⅕ of the total volume. The resulting solid was filtered off, washed with water and tert-butyl methyl ether and dried under reduced pressure. This gave 35 g (74% of theory) of the title compound.
