Reaction Steps

1.0 g of 6-methyl-2-(4'-cyanophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridine in 20 ml dry benzene was treated with Dibal (5.5 ml of 1M solution). After stirring for 2-3 hrs, methanol 15 ml was added, followed by 10 ml of 10% H2SO4. The precipitate was filtered, dissolved in water and basified with 15% NaOH. The collected precipitate was recrystallized from ethanol. Yield 0.68 g (68%); mp 210°-211° C.
