Med. Chem. (1998), 41(22), 4317) in a mixture of 15 mL of ethanol and 10 mL of dichloromethane cooled to 0° C. The reaction mixture is stirred for 5 hours at 25° C. and filtered, and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness. The residue is chromatographed on silica, eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (98/2) to give 625 mg of ethyl 6-[ethoxy(imino)methyl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate in the form of a pale yellow solid.
