Reaction Steps

2,3-Dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid (0.15 g, 0.44 mmol) and o-Benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU)(0.14 g, 0.44 mmol) were added to methylene chloride (10 ml). Morpholine (0.12 g, 1.4 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was added to a column with silica gel and purification by chromatography using ethyl acetate:methylene chloride (1:1) as eluent gave 0.12 g (66%) of the desired product. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.2 (t, 3H), 2.32 (s, 3H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 2.37 (s, 3H), 2.7 (q, 2H), 3.7 (s, 8H), 4.35 (d, 2H), 4.95 (bs, 1H), 6.15 (s, 1H), 7.0-7.2 (m, 3H), 7.4 (s, 1H)
