Sodium hydride → 1-(2-Cyclopropyl-3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)-4-((2,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy)pyridin-2(1H)-one

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of NaH (40% oil dispersion, 19 mg) in THF (6 ml) was added a solution of 1-(2-cyclopropyl-3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)-4-hydroxypyridin-2 (1H)-one (75 mg) in THF (1 ml) at 0° C., and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. 2,4-Difluorobenzyl bromide (67 mg) in THF (0.5 ml) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for further 3 h followed by heating at reflux for 6 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and quenched with ice-water. The mixture was extracted with DCM, and the extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (MeOH/DCM) to give the title compound (38 mg) as an off-white solid.
