Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (6-2) (200 mg, 1.27 mmol) in methanol (30 mL) were added Raney nickel (slurry in water, 100 mg) and 1N ammonia. The reaction mixture was stirred under H2 for 2 h, then filtered and concentrated to afford the title compound (200 mg). MS (m/z): 162 (M+H)+
