Reaction Steps

10 g of activated manganese dioxide were added to a solution of 2.2 g (6.7 mmol) of (6-ethyl-7-methoxy-5-methyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol in 100 ml of chloroform and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was filtered through celite and evaporation of the filtrate gave a solid product. Purification on a 100 g silica gel column using chloroform-methanol (98 to 2) as the eluant gave 1.3 g (59% yield) of pure (6-ethyl-7-methoxy-5-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone as a white crystalline solid melting at 196°-7° C. Overall yield from ester was 37%.
