Sodium Iodide → 3-Carboethoxy-2,6-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-4-fluoro-6-methylbenzylamino)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of (0.7 g, 3.0 mmol) 8-amino-3-carboethoxy-2,6-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, (0.8 g, 3.5 mmol) 2-ethyl-4-fluoro-6-methylbenzylbromide, (0.7 g, 4.8 mmol) potassium carbonate and (0.1 g) sodium iodide in 15 ml acetonitrile was refluxed over night. After evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water, the organic layer was separated dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluent petroleum ether (40-60):isopropyl ether 7:3 to give 0.4 g, (35%) of the title compound.
