Reaction Steps

A stirring mixture of ethyl 7-(difluoromethoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (79) (150 mg, 0.585 mmol) and 2N LiOH (1 mL) in THF:MeOH (4:1, 5 mL) was heated at 60° C. for 45 minutes. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and the pH was adjusted between 4-5 with 1N HCl. The solvent was partially reduced and the crude product was purified by reverse phase preparative HPLC to yield 6-(3-oxobutyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (80). MS m/z 229.03 (M+1)+.
