Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.9 mL of aqueous 2 M lithium hydroxide solution is added to a solution of 292 mg of ethyl 6-(6-{bis[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino}pyrid-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate in 4.73 mL of a 50/1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran and methanol. The reaction mixture is stirred for 7 hours at 25° C. and then treated dropwise at 0° C. with 2 N hydrochloric acid HCl until a pH of 3 is obtained. The precipitate formed after 20 minutes is filtered off by suction and washed with water (20 mL) and diethyl ether (20 ml) and then dried under reduced pressure to give 195 mg of 6-(6-{[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino}pyrid-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid in the form of a beige-coloured solid.
