Ethyl Thioglycolate → HCID 12038723, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-5-thiol (448 mg), ethyl thioglycolate (0.36 ml), and sodium ethoxide (210 mg) in ethanol (10 ml) was refluxed with stirring for 3 hours. The mixture was then allowed to cool and concentrated. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (10 ml) and extracted with 1N-hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was neutralized with 1N-NaOH/water and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with water and concentrated. The resulting crystals were collected, rinsed with diisopropyl ether (20 ml), and dried to provide the title compound (430 mg, 65%).
