Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-3-(2-propynyl)-8-(2-pyruvamido-6-methylbenzyloxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (287 mg) in the mixture of acetic acid (0.13 ml) and ethanol (3 ml), sodium cyanoborohydride (72 mg) was added portionwise for 2.5 hours at 5° C. The mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (10 g) and eluted with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (100.1) to give 8-(2-lactamido-6-methylbenzyloxy)-2-methyl-3-(2-propynyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (138 mg).
