The heating was stopped after 12 h and cooled the dense heterogeneous reaction mixture to room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated and diluted with water. The resultant slurry was collected by suction filtration and obtained methyl 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (6.9 g) as a tan white solid upon drying. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 9.31 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.31 (s, 1H), 7.80 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 7.71 (dd, J=9.5, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 3.88 (s, 4H). Ester hydrolysis was done by stirring a solution of methyl 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (2.5 g), LiOH.H2O (1.2 g) in THF/MeOH/H2O (1/1/1, 75 mL) at room temperature. Reaction mixture was concentrated upon complete hydrolysis of ester to corresponding acid, diluted with water/ice and acidified with 2N. aq HCl until pH 6. The resulting solid was filtered, suction dried followed by drying under P2O5 under vacuum to obtain 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (2.2 g) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.27 (s, 1H), 9.36 (s, 1H), 8.24 (s, 1H), 7.77 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=9.5, 1.7 Hz, 1H).
