PdCl2(PPh3)2 (0.06 eq, 0.389 mmol, 273 mg) is added and the reaction mixture is heated using microwave radiation at 120° C. for 10 min. At the completion of this time the solvent is removed in vacuo and the reaction mixture is purified by flash column chromatography eluting with 8:2 DCM/MeOH to yield 7-chloro-3-(2-chloro-pyridin-4-yl)-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine as an orange solid; [M+H]+=265
