Reaction Steps

To a magnetically stirred solution of 2-(6-methyl-2-p-tolyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-4-oxo-butyric acid methyl ester 36b (0.035 g, 0.0988 mmol) in methanol (1 mL) at room temperature under Ar atmosphere was added a 40% aqueous solution of methyl amine (0.009 mL, 0.0988 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. NaBH4 (0.0074 g, 0.197 mmol) was added at room temperature. After 30 min, water (30 mL) was added, and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo to the crude product. The pure product was obtained by column chromatography over silica gel (EtOAc, then 4:96 MeOH/EtOAc as eluent), which gave the title compound (0.006 g, 19%) as a white solid. (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.31 (s, 3H), 2.33 (m, 2H), 2.39 (s, 3H), 3.00 (s, 3H), 3.51 (m, 2H), 4.41 (t, J=10.2 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (dd, J=1.1, 9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.24 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 2H), 7.25 (s, 1H), 7.53 (m, 3H).
