Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-(4-fluoro-2,6-dimethylbenzylamino)-2-methyl-6-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 3-carboxylic acid (0.35 g, 1.03 mmol) and diphenyl ether and refluxed for 10 min. Petroleum ether 40-60 was added at room temperature followed by hydrogen chloride in diethyl ether. The petroleum ether diphenlether layer was removed from the formed precipitate. The precipitate was washed with petroleum ether thereafter dissolved in methylene chloride and basified with sodium hydroxide (2M). The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with water. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed (hexane:ethyl acetate, 2:1) giving 0.17 g (50%) of the title compound.
