Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-bromo-4-methyl-pyridin-2-ylamine (374 mg, 2.0 mmol) and chloroacetaldehyde (1 mL, 50 wt. % in water) in IMS (4 mL) was stirred at 100° C. in a sealed tube for 18 hours, then cooled to room temperature and loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge (10 g). The cartridge was washed with MeOH then the product was eluted with 2 M NH3 in MeOH. After the solvents were removed, the residue was purified by flash chromatography (Si—PPC, MeOH:DCM, gradient 0:100 to 5:95) to give 5-Bromo-7-methyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine as an orange solid (340 mg, 82%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHCl3-d): δ 7.72-7.70 (m, 1 H); 7.63-7.62 (m, 1 H); 7.38-7.37 (m, 1 H); 6.92-6.90 (m, 1 H); 2.40 (m, 3 H).
