Reaction Steps

2-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-bromopyridine (Heterocycles, 1995, 41, 2799) (124 mg, 0.65 mmol) was dissolved in EtOH (3 mL) and added chloroacetaldehyde (0.2 mL, 1.3 mmol, 50% in water) and the resulting solution heated at 60° C. overnight. The solvents were then removed and the solids were crystallized from acetone to give 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-ol hydrochloride (151 mg, 92%).
