Reaction Steps

2 g of 8-[(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (Example 3A, 6.28 mmol, 1 equivalent), 2.2 g of (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)bisdimethylaminomethylium fluoroborate (TBTU; 6.9 mmol, 1.1 equivalents) and 3.45 ml of 4-methylmorpholine (31.4 mmol, 5 equivalents) were initially charged in 15 ml of dichloromethane and 10 ml of DMF. 810 mg of (R)-(−)-2-amino-1-hexanol (6.9 mmol, 1.1 equivalents) were added at RT, and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane and adjusted to pH4 with water and 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The organic phase was separated off and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were washed twice with water, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by preparative HPLC (Method 9). This gave 1066 mg (41% of theory) of the title compound.
