Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[2-(amino)ethylthio]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (9.63 g, 49.8 mmoles) and triethylamine (7.64 ml) in methylene chloride (150 ml) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (3.85 ml, 49.7 mmoles) with stirring under ice-cooling and was stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hour. The reaction solution was poured into water and stirred.
