Diisopropylethylamine → 3-Bromo-8-fluoro-7-[2-(triethylsilyloxy)prop-2-yl]imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hünig's base (0.44 ml, 3.8 mmol) and triethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.57 ml, 2.6 mmol) were added sequentially to a cold (−78° C.), stirred solution of 2-(3-bromo-8-fluoroimidazo[1,2-α]pyridin-7-yl)propan-2-ol (637 mg, 2.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (13 ml) and the solution warmed to ambient temperature. The mixture was partitioned between CH2Cl2 (50 ml) and water (50 ml) and the organic phase dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered through a short plug of silica (eluent CH2Cl2) and concentrated to afford 3-bromo-8-fluoro-7-[2-(triethylsilyloxy)prop-2-yl]imidazo[1,2-α]pyridine (906 mg, quant.): δH (360 MHz, CDCl3) 0.70 (6H, q, J 7.8), 0.99 (9H, t, J 7.8), 1.71 (6H, s), 7.32 (1H, t, J 6.9), 7.59 (1H, s), 7.88 (1H, d, J 7.3).
