4-Methylmorpholine → N-[(2R)-1-Hydroxyhexan-2-yl]-2,6-dimethyl-8-(3-methylbutoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

75 mg (0.27 mmol) of 2,6-dimethyl-8-(3-methylbutoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid Example 89A, 96 mg (0.30 mmol) of TBTU and 110 mg (1.09 mmol) of 4-methylmorpholine were initially charged in 1.73 ml of DMF. 35 mg (0.30 mmol) of (R)-(−)-2-aminohexanol were then added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution was diluted with water/TFA and purified by preparative HPLC (RP18 column, mobile phase: acetonitrile/water gradient with addition of 0.1% TFA). The concentrated fractions were taken up in dichloromethane and washed twice with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous phase was extracted two more times with dichloromethane, the combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulphate and filtered and the filtrate was concentrated and lyophilized. This gave 91 mg of the target compound (87.5% of theory, purity 98%).
