Reaction Steps

To a suspension of N-[6-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl]cyclopropanecarboxamide (10 g, 28.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL)/methanol (80 mL) were added iron chloride•hexahydrate (0.5 g), hydrazine•monohydrate (8.2 mL, 168 mmol) and activated carbon (1.0 g), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 16 hr. After cooling to 40° C., the mixture was filtered through celite and washed with methanol. The solvent of the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the precipitate was washed with water/methanol (=10/1) and collected by filtration to give the title compound (8.4 g, 92%) as a white solid.
