Ammonia → (7-Bromoimidazo[1,2-A]pyridin-2-YL)methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 7-Bromo-2-chloromethyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (0.325 g, 1.326 mmol) in methanol (5 mL), NH3 gas is purged at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction is allowed to stir at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent is concentrated to afford the title compound (0.315 g). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 4.15 (s, 2H), 7.12-7.15 (dd J1=1.96 Hz, J2=7.24 Hz, 1H), 7.90 (s, 1H), 8.03 (s, 1H), 8.32 (bs, 2H), 8.61 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H). LC-MS (m/z): [M+H]=225.9.
