Procedure

NaBH4 (1.52 g, 41.33 mmol, 1.5 eq) is added to a solution of 2-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde x173 (4.96 g, 27.56 mmol, 1 eq) in EtOH (100 ml). After 1 hour at room temperature, water (100 ml) is added and the aqueous layer is extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 ml). The combined organic layers are dried on anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting white solid is recrystallized in CH2Cl2/hexane to yield 3.9 g of (2-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)methanol x174.
