Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-trifluoromethyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3-trimethylsilanylethynyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (10.5 g, 25 mmol) in THF (100 mL) and MeOH (250 mL) at 0° C. was added K2CO3 (340 mg, 10 mol %) and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 6 h. Diluted with TBME and ice water, separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, totally evaporated. Purified by column chromatography (heptane/AcOEt) and trituration with heptane and filtration gave the product as an off-white solid (5.8 g, 66%). MS (ISP) 355.0 [(M+H)+].
