Olprinone → 5-(3-Chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, 0.3 g of 1,2-dihydro-5-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile was stirred together with 0.19 g of N-chlorosuccinimide at 60° to 80° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure and water was added to the residue to take the solid by filtration. The solid was recrystallized from large quantities of methanol to obtain 0.1 g of 5-(3-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile.
