Reaktionsschritte

Methyl 8-amino-2,3-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylate (0.8 g, 3.6 mmol), 2,6-dimethylbenzylchloride (0.57 g, 3.7 mmol), sodium carbonate (1.0 g, 9.4 mmol) and a catalytic amount of potassium iodide were added to acetonitrile (10 ml) and were refluxed for 20 h. Following filtration, the salts were washed with methylene chloride and the solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using methylene chloride: ethyl acetate (75:25) as eluent. The yellow residue was treated with hexane to give 0.23 g (19%) of the title product.
