Pyridine → Phenyl N-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-ylamine (397 mg, 2.98 mmol) in dry CH3CN (5.0 mL) was added pyridine (282 mg, 3.57 mmol) and phenyl chloroformate (467 mg, 2.98 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt. After 4 h, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (50 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified (FCC) to give imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-yl-carbamic acid phenyl ester (409.1 mg, 54%). MS (ESI+): calcd for C14H11N3O2 m/z 253.09, found 254.1 (M+H)+.
