Participants

Reaction Steps

1.14 g of Dess-Martin periodinane (2.7 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) were initially charged in 25 ml of dichloromethane, and 0.145 ml of pyridine (1.8 mmol, 1 equivalent) and 750 mg of 8-[(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-N-[(2R)-1-hydroxyhexan-2-yl]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (Example 3A, 1.8 mmol) were added at −20° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for 2 h. 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added with ice cooling, and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated. This gave 899 mg (about 70% pure; 90% of theory) of the target compound which were not purified any further.
