Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-hydroxy-2-methoxyisonicotinaldehyde (723.6 mg, 4.7 mmol), 8-(chloromethyl)-imidazol[1,2-a]pyridine (785 mg, 4.7 mmol), and K2CO3 (1.9 g, 14.1 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was heated at microwave reactor at 125° C. for 15 min. The mixture was filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica gel (50-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 5-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-ylmethoxy)-2-methoxyisonicotinaldehyde (500 mg, 38%) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz; DMSO) δ=10.37 (s, 1H), 8.58 (d, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.02 (s, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.44 (d, 1H), 6.98 (s, 1H), 6.93 (t, 1H), 5.61 (s, 2H), 3.84 (s, 3H). LRMS (M+H+) m/z 284.0.
