Acetonitrile → 5-[3-(Benzenesulfonamido)propyloxy]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-[3-(amino)propyloxy]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine dihydrochloride (2.64 g, 10 mmoles) and triethylamine (4.88 ml, 35 mmoles) in methylene chloride (100 ml)-acetonitrile (30 ml) was added benzenesulfonyl chloride (1.53 ml, 12 mmoles) under ice-cooling with stirring and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was washed in turn with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated saline and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After the solvent was distilled off, the crude product thus obtained was recrystallized from methylene-ethanol to obtain 1.97 g of the desired product (59.5%, light brown crystals).
